HOw long till the SMELL



Recommended Posts

Around day 6 I started to actually WANT food. My stomach wasn't ready, but my brain was. I'm at day 18 and some days I want it and some days I don't. It will get better.

I kind of went back and forth with that. At about a week I was pretty okay with smells, but there were days that I would crave crazy foods like a taco or a hot dog, but then when I smelled the foods my family was eating I wanted to lose it. Good luck! Are you going to do support groups w/Dr. Cottams office. I am a part of those and would love to meet you!

I have a super snout now. I can smell EACH ingredient in a dish. Sometimes its bad; sometimes I can just ignore it. I'm 8 weeks out. I think I can smell it all because I can't eat it all. And really having no desire to eat it at all makes me want to hurl too.

I had a reall problem with smells for about 10 days........then I was okay. When I checked out of the hospital they removed my IV and I didnt' realize I was bleeding until I smelled it. BLOOD! I said "Les you can smell like a vampire", and then I said "Les, there are no vampires." :o)

Wow. I never experienced that. At least not yet. Right now for me the smell of food is like breathing in the scent of a lovely perfume. Don't particularly want to eat it, but I do like smelling it. May that feeling stay with me always!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
