Some people have said they feel sick when the use the same toiletries that they used just after their ops and can't use them now.

I think alot of the problem is we associate smells with an experiance

I can't drink ribena the smell makes me heave. I put it down to that was what I drunk after my op.

I feel nauseous when I smell certain things even now.
I have had to change the shampoo that I always used to use. Even my fave perfume smells horrid.

When I have cooked anything, if the smell lingers bacon being the worst.
I have no problem when its just been cooked and eating it. But 10 minutes later:sign0137:
I have to open all the windows and spray air freshner and can't go back in the kitchen until the smell goes.

Hi Annie, Are you on Fast tabs or Metformin? I was really nauseous for 2 weeks post op & then contacted the bariatric nurse who told me to stop both of these medications & within 24hours I felt great. If not I hope you resolve it soon as it is really miserable, isn't it, honey. xxx :wave_cry:

Hi Becky, honey, I was put back on the lansoprazole capsules as I was 2 week post op & am fine with them. Nausea is awful especially post surgery so I really should have contacted my team sooner but you don't want to bother them ... sooo glad I did though xxx

Awww thanks guys this has really helped me, glad i'm not the only one. I am on nothing but lansoprazole, but they have finished so on monday i'll have to get some more. I did take some rennie Rappez and felt okish after, are they ok though? seems to do the the same as the Lansoprazole. First time this week i have felt so sick! Yuck! I just want to be sick! I made a salmon bake and the smell of the salmon makes me sick, and i been having it all week, bizarre! All i wanna do is drink soup for now!

Hi annie, just go with what feels comfortable for now. I was very sensitive to different smells for a good few weeks. Everyone is different but what you're experiencing sounds pretty normal hun x

Do you take you lansoprazolein water or do you swallow it whole. The reason I ask is you can take it either way.

It really houd not make you feel sick as it is designed to be taken before any food and drink to line your stomach to prevent ulcers etc.
On the plus side I have been told to stop taking it after 12 weeks ;-)
