I am now 10 days post op and have noticed a change in smell and taste...Yesterday I scrambled an egg (and I loved scrambled eggs before surgery) and I could not stand it,,I put cheese on it,,,and still,,couldn't stand it...today I tried cottage cheese which I hated before surgery, and it actually tasted good....My favorite of all before surgery was chocolate so I bought some chewable chocolate flavored calcium pills and I CAN NOT get myself to swallow,,the taste is disgusting ,,,My husband has told me he notices me complaining of "smells" now,,,something I never did before...I guess everything is intensified now...strange,,but I thought I'd ask if it happens to you guys too...Thanks!

I totally agree! I even noticed a change before I left the hospital. I couldn't tolerate my deoderant. I kept asking my husband what smelled so awful! It's calmed down a little, but I'm still sensitive to certain smells - wood cabinets is another one. Certain foods don't taste good anymore either. I think it happens sometimes as others have told me it's normal.

DEFINITELY has happened to me too...i have heard of this as well, so we can say we are normal

Yep. I literally had to toss a bottle of Chanel no. 5 the other day, because the smell made me nauseous...

My smell and taste was totally out of whack.I had to drink my protein drink with a top on it so i couldn't smell it.Vitamins the same thing.I am just now able to take the vitamins without holding my nose.It will come around eventually.Barb

Definitely happens. I love cottage cheese now too. It is like ice cream to me. When I want something cool and creamy, a little 2% breakstone is what I love.

I went to Target yesterday and the aroma coming from the snack bar forced me to leave the store. I've never eaten at the Target snack bar because I don't enjoy those kinds of foods, but my liquid diet (day 9) makes me crave any food that I can crunch or chew!

Before surgery, I was using a grapefruit-scented hand soap in the bathroom. I had to trash the almost full bottle because the smell became offensive after surgery. Very strange.
