Enhanced sense of smell?

Hello! I hav my sleeve done on 8/17/20, and since then I have noticed an enhanced sense of smell. I could smell my husbands chicken Cesar salad from across the house. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks! -Ash

  • yes. My sense of taste got a lot stronger as well (I noticed after surgery that sweet things tasted sweeter - and spicy things tasted spicier). I don't notice it anymore. Not sure if it went away o

    Absolutely. I can smell *everything* now. And a lot of smells that used to be good for me stink now, and vice versa. My favorite smell is still fresh bread. Though I can't eat it, I can enjoy it

  • Cinnamon Toast and Bacon are the two that I love and don't eat.

It's the calorie restriction. ;)

People fasting experience the same.

Its mind game you just never noticed it before but now due to diet you are sensing every herb and flavor

Now that you mention it I think my sense of smell has improved. Not always a good thing:wacko:

My favorite smell is still fresh bread. Though I can't eat it, I can enjoy it with my partners when they do. ^^

Lol I thought [emoji1787] it was only me.

I had my sleeve done last Monday and have always had a good sense of smell but I feel it is even better! I thought it was just me! I smelt freshly washed clothes from the other end of the house!

Yes. I was the same way. But I am 7 weeks out now and it is better.
