Do smells bother anyone after surgery?

Is it normal to be bothered by some smells and be very sensitive to smell after surgery or am I the only one?

Okay this is really strange, about 2 days ago, I started smelling this funk. It followed me every where. I thought it was me and took like 3 showers in one day. Thought it was my shirt, and changed that..so on and so on...Went to grocery store, smelled it, got in the car smelled, got home smelled it every where all over the house. Was really getting a bit worried about it, and just like that it stopped. It wasn't me, I scrubbed up and down, but for 2 solid days I smelled this really nasty funky smell. I didn't connect it to the surgery though...but now...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The smell of cooking oil, vanilla, and really fatty meat such as bacon all make me a little queasy. Also my sense of smell has heightened for sure! Don't really particularly care for sweet smelling things either.

I can smell the litter box from the other end of the house after the cat does her business and before could stand next to it and never smell it. If I get near a smoker it about kills me and I used to smoke.

I have super sensitive smell now. I don't know how I will be able to stand it if gets more sensitive after surgery.
