8 days out and the smell of food tortures me!

While I feel full and physically satisfied from my liquids, the smell of delicious food drives me crazy and smells so good that I feel frustrated I can't have a taste. I hear some people find the smell off food off putting. What about you?

The smell is awesome. The thought of putting food in my piehole is vomit inducing.

My first day home from surgery my "caretakers" (Dad & Hubby) ordered a pizza... Pre-surgery it was my favorite food.... It made me feel so nauseated I had to go and lock myself in a back bedroom . Good job on acknowledging that you are satisfied and don't need that food though! I'm almost 6 months out and I constantly have those inner dialogues. Stay strong!!!

Yes food smells great..but knowing that I cant have it well that is ok...Remember skinny feels better than vomiting after eating something that our stomachs cant handle....(had to put a spin on it) LOL

That first week after surgery, the good smelling food made me so miserable because I wanted it so bad. At 4.5 weeks after surgery, I have no interest even though it smells good, the thought is gaggable.

Thanks for the feedback. I am so looking forward to skinny that I plan to stay strong.

8 days post op and I am at the beach for a quick (pre planned and paid for before surgery was scheduled) weekend trip. Vacation time used to be a no holds barred let's see how much I can eat type of thing. Went to Pi-zerria tonight and they ate while I sipped a Protein Shake. It wasn't too bad. I just kept thinking of how good I will look when we come back next year! pizza is one of my favs and it did smell soooo yummy! Everyone saying how stuffed they are uncomfortable, but I feel great!

I was different day to day at your stage. Some days I wanted to eat everything and anything. One day my family ordered pizza and the smell made me feel sick though.

Now (~7 weeks), the smell of food doesn't really bother me one way or the other. But I do hate crap food now. I have to chew so much and eat so little that I want TASTY food. I had a grilled chicken wrap from McDonald's once (had no choice that day!) and it was revolting. I had a couple chicken wings at Boston pizza and they tasted disgusting to me too.

Very weird. I had fish tacos at a higher end restaurant tonight and they were fricken delicious! And some salad... Man I missed salad!
