nausea and bad smell of food in general 1 week post op

Hi Everyone,

I am 1 week 1/2 post op.  I noticed i don't smell the same aroma's of food.  I smell ash like almost nauseating aromas of food.  is this normal? also some nausea.  Thanks,  Sal.

It was nornal for me.  Also foor tasted like crap for awhile.  I brushed my teeth alot during that time.

Thanks,

Yes it does.  I start protein on sunday and I hope it stops. 

Hi Sal

Yes, I had very bad reactions to food when I got home.  My DH loves to fry food and the smell made me gag.  I still have issues when I smell food being fried.

Good luck in your new journey

Hi Sheryl,

Thanks for your response.  Fried food is the worst.  I  used to love the smell of fried chicken.  Thanks Sal.

Cinsider that a good thing.  Your eating habits are going to change, so what better way than to find out that the smell of food isn't the same.  Just remember to startout slowly.  I am almost 2 years out and still don't eat alot of meat or chicken.  Make sure everything is VERY moist!

Good luck, Diane

Thanks Diane,  Sal
