Sense of smell got stronger!



Recommended Posts

After surgery my senses got stronger and I can smell a funk in chicken and eggs and some other meats..... So I am turned off to those foods even though I am 9weeks out I should be able to have them but that smell is such a turn off!

I feel like I can now taste all the chemicals in the Protein Drinks and they make me sick. It's strange how our bodies now react different to food.< /p>

Yes my sense of smell has increased dramatically! I went outside and keep thinking....what are all of those smells? I was walking and on the sidewalk someone had dropped candy corn it was smashed and melting and had a ton of ants on it and I could smell it. Horribly gross!

I just spoke to my dr yesterday. He said this is common especially in women. He also said the increased sense of smell is a marker for long term success. Its a nice consolation for my husband who can't wear his cologne anymore.

I wondered if it was just me but i see its not. My sense of smell is way stronger than it ever was... and my tastes have changed as well. Ate some squished up baby carrots and loved them and i used to hate carrots. Also tasted fish and didnt gag and used to i gagged everytime lol

Thank God I thought it was just me. Everything smells stronger, I started using some expensive candles I'd saved because they relax me even more now.

OMG!! I thought I would go crazy. Everything drove me crazy. Everything smelled really strong. So far mine has diminished some and everything doesn't smell as strong as it did in the beginning.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
