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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
