Preop diet-crazy sense of smell?

I'm on day four of my preop liquid diet. I've not had that many cravings. Luckily one of my medications makes me kind of nauseous and suppresses my appetite which has helped. I have had almost a constant headache and I feel almost flu like, tired and achy. I can deal with all that though.

But the weird thing is my sense of smell has been on over drive. Has this happened to anyone else? In my bathroom I can smell the medicine my husband took before he left for work 8 hours ago. I can smell my glass of orange juice that's sitting next to me and I think I smelled everyone's lunch with in a 30 foot radius at work the past few days. It's not really annoying, just kind of funny. If someone didn't know I was getting ready for this surgery, they'd probably thing I'm pregnant. Has this happened to anyone else?

The achyness could be from a carb withdrawal. As far as the smell, I don't know. Maybe it's the medication?
