Sensitive to smells

Is anyone else really sensitive to smells? Mainly people's breath? For some reason now I can smell people's breath from like 10 feet away. Not a super power I want :-) at night when I'm laying in bed with my wife I can't face her without wanting to dry heave and it's never been like that before.

I know that I have gotten really sinsitive to smells. A week out of surgery (april 25th) My mom and I went to the store and we walked passed the fish station thingy, and I ran to the nearest trashcan and hurled. It was the worst thing ever, I still can't get too close to the fish area because I will gag.

I have issues driving by fast food places with the windows down, the smell gets me.

Luckily this resolved for me about 8 weeks post op....the worst was my 9 year olds shoes, dear lord, I could smell em half a house away! And the kitty litter box, I was OCD changing that thing at first.

Oh Em Gee.... YES! ABSOLUTELY!

I can small everything... Especially breath and BO. What's bothered me lately is my newly turned 2 year old. It's definitely time to seriously focus on potty training because AS SOON as she pee pee's in her pamper it hits me and I'll reach to feel her pamper and yep... It's warm!

PS.... The DMV; Walmart and the Emergency Room is off limits for me. These places smell HORRIBLY GROSS!

LOL yes!!! I'm 17 days post & I keep saying its like I'm pregnant. I haven't smelled breath yet, but perfume, certain foods and definitely protein shakes make me sick!!! I hope this changes soon!!!

My smell stayed the same but my taste buds are totally different now. I use to like chicken, beef etc. now I do not eat any of that and I don't miss it either.

When people heat up food in the microwave. Boy it really grosses me out.

Perfumey smells made me ill for the first couple weeks. It was awful! Nothing tasted good either. By about 6 weeks things started getting more normal.
