Certain Smells



Recommended Posts

I got my gastric sleeve done on August 29th, 2016. Since then, certain smells have been making me feel nauseous. I also feel nauseous just thinking about drinking plain Water. I still have pain at one of my incision sites and I'm overall depressed. Has anyone else dealt with any of this or just me?!

Nope, I'm right at 7 weeks out. We're truckers and fueled at a loves truck stop about 2 weeks ago and I walked passed the hot dogs..not to be gross, but I threw up a Lil in my mouth. It was the most disgusting smell now. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat another one. And Water..see, before surgery I drank at least a gal of plain Water a day, now...I HAVE to have flavor in it, can not drink it pain anymore. Good luck and we'll get though this, slowly but surely.

I was sleeved on the same day you were and smells don't bother me but my sister made chocolate cupcakes with raspberry cream cheese frosting while she was here and my wife made a Mississippi Mud cake for her birthday on the 12th. No big deal. I took all of the left overs to work. Now the heavenly banana bread that she made the other day I immediately took to our neighbors because I swear she makes it with crack.

I have found that I no longer seem to care anything about my morning coffee. I've never been a coffee addict but my two daily cups was my favorite part of my mornings. But now...eh, I can take it or leave it. Just doesn't seem to taste the same. I hope the same holds true for the one true addiction that I DO have--Lifesavers gummies. Omg, those things are of the devil! I go back to work Monday and those things are always around, as we are all addicted to them at my workplace. Haven't had any in weeks(I'm 2 weeks post op today). Gotta stay strong. I swear they put crack in them, too!

Smells haven't made me nauseous, but they definitely seem stronger than pre-op. It's like my sense of smell was sharpened somehow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
