Have any other post-ops experienced a change in their sense of smell?

This is very odd to me. I am almost 3 months post-op and lately I have noticed that sometimes my sense of smell has become very heightened. It doesn't sound like such a problem, but twice in the past week I have had days that I smell things that I normally don't, to the point that I become nausious and grossed-out! A few examples are: Sometimes when people talk to me their breath is too much(it never bothered me before,) I could smell an oily smell on a friend that I never noticed before, and my boyfriend had a body scent that I have NEVER smelled before(not bad, just a person's normal scent), and several various different things. I am just wondering if this is normal after surgery and perhaps why it is happening. Thanks! Amber
