I had my surgery on the 26th, and I'm noticing that my sense of smell has gone wild! Am I alone in this? Everything the people eat around me makes me want to vomit. Smelling things that never bothered me before now makes me in edge. Is this a side effect of the surgery? It is this just me being crazy???

I am having the same sense of smell!!! My husband had a hotdog at Sam's Club the other day when we were walking out after shopping and I thought, that **** stinks, then when we got to the car and shut the door I threw up in my mouth alittle from the stench and he said I was over reacting and was going to throw it out the window!! I don't know how surgery on your stomach could make our senses so strong. And what's up with my breath???? LOL

Ha! I am so glad to hear that I am not alone with this issue. I don't understand how it can effect our sense of smell, but it definitely has taken its toll. My husband went to the vending machine in the hospital, and came back to my room with a bad of Funions and a soda. I told him that if he was going to eat this chips, he was going to have to do it fast! Sure enough, as soon as he opened the bag it was instant nausea for me.

For the first few months everything smelled like fish to me. I was throwing new gallons of milk down the drain , new mops, sponges, changed laundry soap, ect... Thought I was going nuts-ier. Around 4 months it started getting better and is fine now. Hang in there, these little bumps on the road will seem silly in a year from now when you are shopping for clothes half the size of what you are wearing now.

Bad breath = ketosis - sometimes!

Sleeved 10/30 and I am now just able to open the refrigerator door without wanting to vomit! It was way worse the first 2 months.
