Is anyone working as a chef/cook post-op?

I am a chef that owns her own restaurant. I am about 5 weeks out from RYN and I wanted to know if anyone else on AMOS has experienced working around food all day. My job places me in a position where it is not just "food at mealtimes". I am surrounded by baked goods and food everyday. So far I have been doing good, but it is a real challenge and I would appreciate talking to someone else who has experienced this. (My partner jokes that our shop should be "Carbs R Us". I feel like an AA member that owns her own bar.) I have been in food service all my life, already dedicating over 25 years to it. I am a Culinary Graduate and have no intention of changing careers. I went back to work 2 1/2 weeks after surgery and only had a few problems with the smells. Now it is the fact that I am cutting brownies and serving pies and slicing fresh hot bread. My partner does the sampling but that has become old already. Anyone else out there that can offer suggestions?
