I thought I was imagining it, but it seems my sense of smell is heightened too. Thank you for confirming I wasn't crazy!I struggle with ground beef and chicken (if dry), or anything that is overly dry. That said, it is common to have changes to tastes and tolerances, especially early on post op. I would supplement with protein powder and keep trying the meats here and there in small quantities. I found that there were several things I could not stand to eat post op, because my sense of smell and taste were heightened and sensitive, but now I am eating more normally again.
