::venting:: wish i could turn my nose off for a little!!

Head hunger is rough!!! all these yummy smells of my coworkers food while i sip on "wonderful and delicious protien shakes" get really hard! This morning is bacon egg and cheeses! Lunch yesterday was a mixture on McDonalds french fries, pizza, and garlic knots. I even left yesterday for a "lunch hour" while they ate but it still was there when I got back. I know there's nothing i can do but just suck it up and deal with it, I'm just venting because if anyone can understand it's you guys!! 

Hi there, I totally felt the same way after my surgery.  I was still on vacation and the rest of my family had all the yummy things packed for the beach and I sipped while they pigged out around me.  The smells really got to me too early out but it has been a lot better.  I'm two months out now and although the smells are there, it's definitely better and don't think about it as much.

Good luck!  It does get better

thank you! It's great to know this gets easier! I feel bad sometimes when my husband eat his dinner at night i can feel myself getting cranky.. I try to control that a little though..

 I dont even need to smell it - i get a little cranky if I even know something is around haha.

It was much easier for me to deal with the first 6-9 mo post op, now its really  a b*tch to handle...vent away.  I usually distract myself by sending SOS messages to a friend or two :)

lol thanks this really helps! love OH and knowing i'm not alone with this sh*t!! :)

But then, sometimes just thinking about the food or seeing it, sets me off! 

Right now it is buttery popcorn for me! ARGH!! Stop popping that **** right down the hall where it invades my cubicle and makes me want to eat it. LOL

Tjis is how I handled the same things you are going through. I kept a small jar of vicks salve in my purse. When the temptation got too bad I put a little vicks under my nose and couldn't smell the foods any more.
