Enhanced sense of smell

I'm not sure why, but now I smell absolutely everything...from burning toast in the break room to people's hair care products. I'm able to identify the main components of my coworkers lunches from a few feet away. I haven't been a smoker in over 5 years so I can't attribute it to that. Is anyone else experiencing this or can anyone offer a reason?

Hi, I am 3 years out and I can relate!! My sense of smell is thru the roof!! I always had a good sniffer but now it is almost ridiculous. We live in a Mobile Home Park and our neighbors are smokers. YUKKY I can smell it even with our windows and doors closed!! Not only that but my taste changed tremendously!! I use to love onions and garlic now the smell makes me sick!! I don't know why but I have heard lots of WL peeps say the same thing. I can't even say it will get better because it sure hasn't for me. I use to love bacon now I can't even stand the smell. Also, there foods hat I loved but nope not now!! Good luck I hope it gets better for you!!

I have been smelling extra well also. Yesterday my sister had some salad and i smelled it from across the room. salad is the number one thing i have been craving post op (im 10 days out) so i was thinking it could have been that i just wanted it but ive been smelling other stuff too. If my friend smokes a cig (away from me of course because i quit) and then gets near me, she STINKS soo bad. I think it's her brand because other people the smoke smell stinks but this brand has a distinct odor and it is strong. I have to roll down the Windows if shes in my car. Its repulsive.

      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?

      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... :(
