7 days post op and my sense of smell has gone crazy. Twice I have woken to husband cooking and just could not tolerate the smell , nothing crazy or overly odorous, just cooking. It only seem to bother me when I was sleeping. Has that happened to anyone else? And will this resolve after im allowed more solid food?

Yes!! It happened to me and lasted at least a few months. The worst was opening canned cat food. I would stand there gagging lol. I was also very sensitive to smell after gall bladder surgery so I am thinking it partially has to do with the anaesthesia. I am 11 months post op now and smells doing bother me anymore so there is hope!

Me too! I already have a crazy sense of smell. Not it's off the chain. Not a good thing, unless there's a fire!!

My sense of smell has been really heightened since surgery in October. It isn't food that has been an issue but other smells especially things like perfume and aftershave. When I came back to work last week, I could hardly walk through some of the sections since the smell was overpowering. Not sure how long this will last!

I had about no sense of smell before my surgery and that was a shock afterwards when I felt like a "super smeller" lol. Mine went away gradually as I'm 7 months out and its totally back to normal now.

I also had Dr Wegner. Surgery 4/17 and I'm down almost 90 pounds. Good luck to you!

I have always had a great sense of smell but now Its like some weird craving to smell everything I smell things and the smell so different now like I can smell a different reality lol like chocolate now as a very bitter smell to it similar to the aftertaste it would leave me with. Alcohol something I was sensitive to before makes me sick my hubby drinks a glass of wine I have to stand back 3-4 feet or I get sick, its incredible. Oh and I try not to go down the bread isle at the grocery store man that is like floating through bread heaven all the smells are so good.
