What the heck has happened to my sense of smell?

[stuknbama 10]

Had my surgery on Dec 16 and my sense of smell and taste is completely screwed up. Been on liquids since Nov 24 and you'd think I would love to smell any food...there is nothing!! Is this temporary or permanent? ?? Others experience this?

For me it was temporary, about six weeks. I think that as I drop meds and have more days where I am not in ketosis, my sense of smell and taste is sharper. Also, the less sugar, grease, salt and preservatives that I eat, the more I can capture the natural smells and flavor of real food that is not made in a factory.
