Is anyone else really sensitive to smells? Mainly people's breath? For some reason now I can smell people's breath from like 10 feet away. Not a super power I want :-) at night when I'm laying in bed with my wife I can't face her without wanting to dry heave and it's never been like that before.

I know that I have gotten really sinsitive to smells. A week out of surgery (april 25th) My mom and I went to the store and we walked passed the fish station thingy, and I ran to the nearest trashcan and hurled. It was the worst thing ever, I still can't get too close to the fish area because I will gag.

I have issues driving by fast food places with the windows down, the smell gets me.

Luckily this resolved for me about 8 weeks post op....the worst was my 9 year olds shoes, dear lord, I could smell em half a house away! And the kitty litter box, I was OCD changing that thing at first.

Oh Em Gee.... YES! ABSOLUTELY!

I can small everything... Especially breath and BO. What's bothered me lately is my newly turned 2 year old. It's definitely time to seriously focus on potty training because AS SOON as she pee pee's in her pamper it hits me and I'll reach to feel her pamper and yep... It's warm!

PS.... The DMV; Walmart and the Emergency Room is off limits for me. These places smell HORRIBLY GROSS!

My smell stayed the same but my taste buds are totally different now. I use to like chicken, beef etc. now I do not eat any of that and I don't miss it either.

Perfumey smells made me ill for the first couple weeks. It was awful! Nothing tasted good either. By about 6 weeks things started getting more normal.

      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.
