Macy6 356 Posted June 21, 2013 I am sure that is frustrating but luckily it shouldn't last forever..... A few years ago I decided quite quickly that I was going to become a vegetarian, mid summer aka BBQ season. It was absolute torture every time my neighbor would BBQ I would sit and longingly stare out the window at his dogs as they ate the left over rib bones (exaggeration, but you get my point) It was very important to me not to eat meat so I didn't cheat, not once. The first couple months were rough, but then something amazing happened..... It didn't matter anymore, the smell didn't bother me, I didn't start drooling, and what was even more amazing, was around 6 months later I had a cheeseburger for the first time and something I used to love.... tasted like cardboard, wet, greasy, cardboard. 1 avanti reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avanti 92 Posted June 21, 2013 I haven't gone back to work yet since being sleeved! It killed me before! my sense of smell was on high alert the first two or three weeks after the surgery... I imagine my brain was kicking all my senses into survival mode after being deprived of solid food for so long.. and sniffing out anything that is bound to be high in calories..
