Sense of smell

I'm 4 days post op and my sense of smell has gone through the roof. My husband had to take out the garbage twice a day or I get nauseous. My son's Mac n cheese never smelled so good. Is this normal?

Not sure if it's normal but I also feel like I have a super sense of smell. I was at the movie theatre and the person next to me was eating m&m's. I didn't see them, but I could smell them like they were in front of my face.

I can definitely smell food other people are eating so much more than ever before!! Weird!

I feel like my sense of smell is heightened too. I don't have nausea but I swear everything smells .... stronger.

6 days after my surgery last year my sense of smell changed. I started smelling gasoline then cigarette smoke. I don't drive or smoke. Things tasted different to. I'll soon see a specialist to work on why since it still continues 10 months later.....

My sense of smell is the same way. If I'm in a car with the windows down, I can smell restaurants that are a mile or so away... Or just food in general.

The first month it was INSANE- like I would
Open the fridge and smell every smell- I could smell people's breath all the way across the room! I cooked something in a pot and could smell the Lima beans I cooked in them weeks before--- it read really gross and made me eat. Very little -- but IT DOES PASS :)
