Nausea/smells/meds

[kloveburd 132]

Hey all, I had my surgery 8/5/13 and the past couple days when I go to take my crushed up medicine I end up puking. If it's a weird texture or taste In my mouth I throw it up or gag and that def doesn't help with getting Protein in.

And what is it with everything smelling weird? food smells make me gag, my bf gives me a kiss and I gag, I go outside and I wanna throw up cause everything smells terrible!!

This is so frustrating!

I've noticed a change in my sense of smell since surgery. But i can't understand why your boyfriend kissing you would make you gag. I think you should bring this up to your surgical team.

Well it's usually after he eats when I can't kiss him. I can smell the food and makes me nauseous.

My sense of smell has been heightened since surgery. A week ago I walked into my sisters house and knew she was making a Peanut Butter sandwich from 2 rooms away! Another time my husband was driving on the highway, I was in the passenger seat. I told him someone in the car about 100 feet in front of us was eating French fries. He caught up to the car and I was right. Thankfully the smells don't make me nauseous!
