Mrs.J 24 Posted August 19, 2017 I'm 4 days post op and my sense of smell has gone through the roof. My husband had to take out the garbage twice a day or I get nauseous. My son's Mac n cheese never smelled so good. Is this normal? HW: 315SW: 309CW: 302 Surgery 8/14/17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZBlackhawk 122 Posted August 19, 2017 Not sure if it's normal but I also feel like I have a super sense of smell. I was at the movie theatre and the person next to me was eating m&m's. I didn't see them, but I could smell them like they were in front of my face. I can definitely smell food other people are eating so much more than ever before!! Weird!

MFM008 44 Posted August 19, 2017 6 days after my surgery last year my sense of smell changed. I started smelling gasoline then cigarette smoke. I don't drive or smoke. Things tasted different to. I'll soon see a specialist to work on why since it still continues 10 months later.....Sent from my SGH-M919 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGirlInThePinkScarf 28 Posted August 22, 2017 I can't stand the smell of fried foods anymore! It's like all that I can smell is the grease! Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myaiku_Kuraitani 245 Posted August 23, 2017 My sense of smell is the same way. If I'm in a car with the windows down, I can smell restaurants that are a mile or so away... Or just food in general.----------------------------HW- 273Pre-op Wt- 230SW- 226CW- 174GW- 130Ht- 5'2.5"DOS- April 26th, 2017"Only those who try will become." ~FFX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenseintexas 182 Posted August 23, 2017 The first month it was INSANE- like I wouldOpen the fridge and smell every smell- I could smell people's breath all the way across the room! I cooked something in a pot and could smell the Lima Beans I cooked in them weeks before--- it read really gross and made me eat. Very little -- but IT DOES PASS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
