Preop diet-crazy sense of smell?



Recommended Posts

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?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
