Nausea heighten by smells



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've got a question? Has anyone had really bad nausea brought on my different smells and odors? I'm finding myself nauseaus most of the day. I can't live on Zofran and Phenergan.

So far I only feel nauseous after I eat. I have been making sure to coincide my meals with meds whenever possible. How far out are y?u?

Smells haven't made me nauseous as such, but I have found that my taste and smell senses are heightened. (Like something from True Blood!)

Everything tastes different and I can smell things I'd never noticed before. Very strange.

I hope you feel better soon! x

The same happened with my taste, smells don't make me nauseous though. My hubby even said surgery changed my taste sense, before I used to love sweet stuff(biscuits,chocolate)now I find most things too sweet!:)

Rhonda, I am 5 weeks out and yes I am finding different odors are making me nauseaus. I work in a office setting and even the smell of paper and magazines is making me hold my nose. The only time I felt this way was when I was pregnant with my first child. I DO NOT LIKE IT!!! :thumbdown:Can anyone relate and please tell us when it will end.

Deb, That is exactly what I told my mom. I told her I feel like I'm pregnant. Some things sounds real good I will cook it take two bites, and get nauseaus. Yesterday my friend came over with her dogs, and the smell don't normally get to me, but I actually had to go to my room, until the dogs left because the smell made me nauseaus. I felt like a horses butt, I love them dogs, but I just could not handle the doggie smell. Another thing bothering me is the texture of the food. Once I puree it and put it my mouth, thats it I can only eat one or two bites, and then in the garbage it goes. I hope I don't get malnutrition I don't know what else to do. I can get down a scrambled egg ok, but that is about it right now.

OMW I thought I was the only one that this happened to! My sense of smell has been so hightened! I had some cups next to my bed and the smell of the contents were driving me nuts, I had to move them clear to the other side of the room. My taste is super sensitive too - everything is a flavor explosion or it tastes totally weird and can't drink it.

If I smell something strong for too long it does make me feel nauseous.

Not sure yet if this is good or bad. The smell is really strange though, I didn't read about that pre surgery so it was a surprise for me.

I am experiencing the same thing! When I need to eat something I really have to give it some thought because one day a certain food will sound wonderful and the next day it sounds awful. I too can relate to my first pregnancy when certain foods or smells could send me over the edge!

Hey Sleeve Longtimers! Does this subside eventually?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've never been pregnant before and now I can I confirm that I never will be. Not that that was an issue. but this nausea is killing me.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
