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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
