At over 10 months, sometimes certail smells will still gag me
In the beginning right after surgery, I had a horrible high sense of smell. Every now and then if my husband is cooking something, I will sometimes get sick to my stomach, almost a nauseated feeling. Only has happened a few times over the months, I just find it odd that it still can rear its ugly head up when the pouch gets a wiff of something it doesn't like.
OMG Jane, I swear, after surgery I somehow got bionic sense of smell too! Thank goodness its not as keen as it was those first few months, but im totally picking up what you are putting down! Some smells gross me out to the point of gagging!

For about 3 months I had to quit using scented laundry soap, body wash, shampoo, lotion, perfume you name it. I couldn't even feed the cats canned cat food without having to leave the familyroom and go to the bedroom. It was terrible! So when you said that I was like holy mackerel! I am not the only one to experience non-food items. I asked my husband to not to use after shave or cologne either. Anything with a smell did me in. It was like being a werewolf with this heightened sense of smell! Thank goodness I am back using all those products now. It's mainly the food issue.
See, that's the problem. I won't lose the smell for days either. He was cooking something last night for himself that he had added parmesan cheese to. Well, he agreed, he used way too much, and the nice person that I am, I said "I hope you throw it up because I can't and it's making me sick." I opened the house and went and sat on the back porch until I felt I could come back in. He would have said the nutzo part has been an ongoing issue for me way long before surgery. Sigh......the perils of insanity. You gotta love us!
