I had my surgery on the 26th, and I'm noticing that my sense of smell has gone wild! Am I alone in this? Everything the people eat around me makes me want to vomit. Smelling things that never bothered me before now makes me in edge. Is this a side effect of the surgery? It is this just me being crazy???

I am having the same sense of smell!!! My husband had a hotdog at Sam's Club the other day when we were walking out after shopping and I thought, that **** stinks, then when we got to the car and shut the door I threw up in my mouth alittle from the stench and he said I was over reacting and was going to throw it out the window!! I don't know how surgery on your stomach could make our senses so strong. And what's up with my breath???? LOL

Ha! I am so glad to hear that I am not alone with this issue. I don't understand how it can effect our sense of smell, but it definitely has taken its toll. My husband went to the vending machine in the hospital, and came back to my room with a bad of Funions and a soda. I told him that if he was going to eat this chips, he was going to have to do it fast! Sure enough, as soon as he opened the bag it was instant nausea for me.

For the first few months everything smelled like fish to me. I was throwing new gallons of milk down the drain , new mops, sponges, changed laundry soap, ect... Thought I was going nuts-ier. Around 4 months it started getting better and is fine now. Hang in there, these little bumps on the road will seem silly in a year from now when you are shopping for clothes half the size of what you are wearing now.

Sleeved 10/30 and I am now just able to open the refrigerator door without wanting to vomit! It was way worse the first 2 months.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
