My sense of smell has gone bonkers.



Recommended Posts

only certain things. fast food smells, pumping gas, truck exhaust, an old beater with someone smoking in it, very close to hurling. my surgeon said that it is the anesthesia that rewires only some peoples brains. unable to predict this. he also says it may decrease, may go away, or not. this was NOT in the pamphlet!

Oh my yes! I thought I was weird. My had a good smeller before surgery. Now is it more sensitive. My hubby ate the Soup which he has eaten other times. Now I can really smell garlic and onion that is end it. Glad to know I'm not alone.

I've given it a few weeks now and it's still super sniffing. I think @@DavidOso is right. Something in the brain got rewired. So, about 2weeks after surgery, My sister asked me whether I have a front loader or a top loader washing machine. I thought about it and could not remember. I could not remember a single thing about the whole laundry room. It was a big black blank in my memory. It was terrifying. The more I tried to remember, the worse it was. I thought about walking through the family room and going into the laundry room and then it all came rushing back. Boom. But, yes, it was like the pathway to that batch of files fad been broken. I am sure I am rewired.

Will be 3 weeks since I've been sleeved on Thursday and I came home today asking my mom what the smell was... She has heated up corn hours before I got home and I could still smell it.

This reminds me of a joke.

A blind man walking by a fish market, tipped his hat and said "Good morning ladies". :)

It's ok when I need to see if something has gone bad, but even my Scentsy is too much for me most of the time now!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
