Maybe a silly question.....

After WLS will smells provoke hunger?? I have WlS comming up, but right now.. i ate breakfast a few hrs ago... and someone has some really good smelling food, and now i am STARVING... so i was just wondering if that will (hopefully) go away??? dawn.

The only silly question is one you haven't asked and want to know the answer to. I'm 2 days post surgery and I'm not hungry at all. I have to remind myself to drink my fluids and get in my protein. Smells aren't bothering me at all. ---jan---

Hi Dawn, I had mine done on the 1st. smells didn't bother really at all. Every once in while now. Like popcorn....forbade my husband to make it my presence! Keep the faith, I am so very, very glad I had this done! Dee

I am six days postop now and last night was the first night I smelled something really good. It was leftovers LOL. I had cooked the night before and the smell didn't really bothered me, but last night when my hubby reheated the leftovers it smelled really good... I can't say that I was really hungry from smelling it though. Before surgery I would have gone crazy and had to EAT! But now it just smells good... that's it... it just smells good, it doesn't evoke uncontrollable urges anymore. Weird

Yes, Smells can provoke hunger especially pre-surgry. Judy
