Sense of smell



Recommended Posts

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 :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
