Smelly smells



Recommended Posts

Well, my doc sorta warned me that the band might diminish the sense for hunger, but that the smell of food would still remain to tease me. But I must say, its just the opposite.

My mother made fried chicken the other day for lunch; she fried it in fresh oil. So we all sat down for lunch, I was eating my Soup and suddenly I felt this disguisting smell! I used to love fried chicken, but now the smell of it made me almost vomit. It was disguisting! :biggrin1:

On another occassion, I was passing by a kebab store(another of my ex meaty favourites :biggrin1: ) and the smell was soooo bad I had to run away. What wrong with me? :biggrin1: Can self-persuasion be that powerfull? :biggrin1:

I have had a similar issue with bacon. I used to love bacon and now the very sight of it almost makes me sick. Seems like it must be psychological, but I don't mind. Bacon sure won't help my weight loss journey much!

This is a good thing right? I hope my nose and my brain does this to me when I am banded.

The only time I experienced anything like this was when I was prego. It was so weird. All three pregnancies I could not look at, smell, touch or really think about raw meat! any kinds, red, chicken, turkey, didn't matter all of it made me sick.

My kids made spaghetti last night and although I wasn't hungry there was certainly nothing wrong with my sense of smell...it smelled delicious. I didn't even go near them, as they are kind enough to take it in the other room. I didn't want any per se, but I thoroughly enjoyed the smell of it cooking. It would be nice if the things I did like turned me off :)

      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.
