Keen Olfactory Senses Post Surgery

My tastes for things have changed. But I also can't do certain smells. There was a woman next to me eating Doritos and they were terrible. Cigarette smoke has gotten to be too much. I've gone out and had to leave early because the smokiness in the venue makes me gag.

Is anyone else having these issues?

I hope it will die down for me as well. But yeah, I can smell everything

I could smell everything too post op, the one that drove me the most crazy was smelling other people's breath all the time. Thankfully it has subsided since. I would say by about the end of week 3 it seemed to be pretty much back to normal. I hope that it gets better for you, too!

Oh man. I could smell my coworkers breath something awful yesterday. I felt bad because I kept holding my breath when he talked to me. Here's hoping he didn't notice. Lol
