Enhanced sense of smell?



Recommended Posts

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

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

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 or if I just got used to it.

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

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 with my partners when they do. ^^

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

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
