smell and taste
« on: April 14, 2013, 08:28:38 PM »
I have had some odd side effects from the medications/surgery.  The odd ones are,  1) food taste strange to me.  Im not that interested in eating once I begin because everything tastes bad.  It has improved some, but still its off.  2) the other is I have been hypersensitive to smells.  The laundry smells on the sheets, cooking bacon, anything at all seems overpowering.  I've never experienced anything like this.

Anyone else have that kind of bizarre reaction?

Dear MrMike,

Anesthesia has side effects, I bet is one of them.  For sure I lost interest in food (and over 10lbs) after surgery.  It will pass.

Love, elephant
