After VSG - Did food smells bother anyone?

I have always been a big fan of bacon. A true believer in that bacon makes everything better. (not a surprise how I got where I was, eh?) Tonight I cooked some bacon to use a slice in a recipe and let the family have BLT's. I was gonna snag a tiny little piece of the lean part (couple of grams), but while I was cooking it I became extremely nauseated over the smell. That is a new one for me.

Anyone else have a similar experience after surgery? I'm about 3 weeks out.

You are not the only one who has had an adverse reaction to smells. I actually posted about this a week ago or so. I am almost 6 weeks out and my heightened sense of smell sure surprised me out of the blue. It was so bad for awhile that I was nauseous all the time, but I am happy to report it has levelled out some. There are still a few scents that I can't handle at all , but for the most part I am coping well. My tastes have definitely changed dramatically too. It's a bit of a learning curve , but totally doable.

Best of luck to you

Thank you for the re-assurance. I guess there will be other surprises as well as I go along. I'm so glad you all are here!

This happened to me after my RNY. The evening I came home from the hospital Hubby had made ribs and they nauseated me horribly. I stayed clear of the kitchen for a spell.

Thank you for the input. I'm glad I'm not alone. You all are wonderful!

Your hormones are crazy after surgery and this seems to be one of the side effects (just like pregnancy). Things also tasted strange to me for a bit. At some point that all leveled out and things tasted/smelled normal.
