Sensitive to scents

[SleeveDreams 29]

I'm 2 days post op and I've noticed that certain things that I used to smell everyday is making me sick to my stomach. Has anyone else experience this?

That would be ME!! I have a metal taste inn my mouth or a bitterness. Also, I always had a great sense of smell but since my surgery it is way way over the top. I loved garlic and onions before my WLS. Now I am over 3 and 1/2 years out and it just has changed to where I can handle those smells and even the taste. Good Luck it can be real hard to adjust to it for sure. Take care and Congrates on your new life and journey.

Yes! I thought it was just me. I walked by the dog food aisle in Target yesterday and it made me wretch. It reminds me of the heightened sense of smell that comes with pregnancy. I had my surgery 9 days ago. I'm hoping this passes soon!

The first few weeks for me smells were horrendous. I could tell from far away when someone had garlic ewwww. It does get better or it did for me.

Don't feel bad I lost my crap on some student nurses when I was in the hospital. They had so much perfume on that I would gag and almost throw up in the hall on my walks. I never was that sensitive before as I make soap and deal with fragrance.

My senses and taste buds seem heightened . Trying to eat sugar free Jello and it's too sweet.
