Certain Smells



Recommended Posts

I got my gastric sleeve done on August 29th, 2016. Since then, certain smells have been making me feel nauseous. I also feel nauseous just thinking about drinking plain Water. I still have pain at one of my incision sites and I'm overall depressed. Has anyone else dealt with any of this or just me?!

Nope, I'm right at 7 weeks out. We're truckers and fueled at a loves truck stop about 2 weeks ago and I walked passed the hot dogs..not to be gross, but I threw up a Lil in my mouth. It was the most disgusting smell now. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat another one. And Water..see, before surgery I drank at least a gal of plain Water a day, now...I HAVE to have flavor in it, can not drink it pain anymore. Good luck and we'll get though this, slowly but surely.

I was sleeved on the same day you were and smells don't bother me but my sister made chocolate cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting while she was here and my wife made a Mississippi Mud cake for her birthday on the 12th. No big deal. I took all of the left overs to work. Now the heavenly banana bread that she made the other day I immediately took to our neighbors because I swear she makes it with crack.

I have found that I no longer seem to care anything about my morning coffee. I've never been a coffee addict but my two daily cups was my favorite part of my mornings. But now...eh, I can take it or leave it. Just doesn't seem to taste the same. I hope the same holds true for the one true addiction that I DO have--Lifesavers gummies. Omg, those things are of the devil! I go back to work Monday and those things are always around, as we are all addicted to them at my workplace. Haven't had any in weeks(I'm 2 weeks post op today). Gotta stay strong. I swear they put crack in them, too!

Smells haven't made me nauseous, but they definitely seem stronger than pre-op. It's like my sense of smell was sharpened somehow.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
