9 days post op

[ngoycoanaya 18]

So I'm nine days postop and it's Friday night and the kids are popping popcorn and the smell is making me so nauseous that I just had to leave the room. Is anyone else having lunch with her and food smells may be it's becoming an intolerance of certain foods.

I was at SAMS last night with my husband and the bakery "cinnamon roll" smell made me want to vomit! Some food just disgust me to look at, like the carb loaded sugary fattening stuff! That may just me my new brain talking but that smell ewww!

The first couple weeks after surgery my sense of smell was so strong and off that I was queasy at the smell of Jello. It does go away. My surgeon said it's a normal after effect of the anesthesia.

That's great to know ☺️ my brain is telling me no more of that food...

I'm ok with food smells, but the tastes are entirely different. I can't tolerate allot of things now...I'm very experimental and will try any soft foods I used to love. About half gross me out now. My surgeon says that it is common after surgery and to try new food at home first just in case you get sick.
