Hi. I am finding it very difficult as the days go on not to be impacted by smells. Everything tends to smell badly to me. I did really well drinking etc without being ill but some smells make me want to vomit. I was in an uber to the dr for a 2 week checkin and the car smelled like Chinese food. I am sure the hard working driver's wife made him food for the day. All I wanted to do was make him pull over so I could get out even though it was pouring. The next cab driver smelled of cigarettes. And it goes on and on. I can't stand the smell of my bedroom or me. My friends tell me I am crazy and everything smells fine. Does this go away, moderate or is it only me? Any hints to make it more manageable?

OMG I am in the same boat. Can't go anywhere. My family smells "onion-y". I'm looking for solutions too.

My smell was "off" for a little while post op too. I remember eating at a seafood restaurant with my husband and having to go sit outside while he finished because I could smell the fried fish/seafood and the oil smell made me nauseated. My smell aversion did go away and I went back to normal. Can't really remember how long it took.

Hang in there!

Every strong smell completely grossed me out after surgery. I'm 8 weeks post-op & somewhere along the way, the sensitivity went away. I remember walking figure 8's through my house twice a day in the beginning (it's a long house) to get my 30-40 min & my route went through the kitchen where my husband was warming up stuffed peppers. Oh.my.gosh. The pepper & onion smell was SO repulsive. Gag-reflex repulsive. Hang in there--it goes away!

I'm sorry @@Wendi1988 but I laughed at that. I've never heard someone refer to their family smelling onion-y.
