Have others realized heighten senses, especially related to taste and smell? It could be related to not eating sugar. My sense of smell is really alive post-op. for example, my wife made s one snicker doodle Cookies last night ( for her of course). The smell of cinnamon and sugar was almost overwhelming all over the house ( 2500 square feet). It was really a heavenly experience. Everything tastes much better, especially savory foods like chicken tikka or masala. food is so much more pleasurable then pre-op.

LOL, Yup I feel like a dog now. I could find someone lost by their scent.

Not always a good thing. --__--

Oh my god yes!

Everything smells so much stronger and my sleeve doesn't like it! My kids were eating crackers and cheese and I had to leave the room. The smell of the cheese was so powerful. It reminded me of being pregnant! Hope that settles down....?

      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.
