Protein Powder - Smelly!

I am 6 weeks post op and am trying protein powder. I have tried plain, vanilla, and chicken broth flavor. My problem?? IT STINKS. I don't mind the taste, but the smell makes me gag. It smells like chicken feed. I plug my nose to drink it. My sense of smell has gotten soooo strong since surgery. Prior to surgery I never smelled anything. Now I smell EVERYTHING. Has this happened to anyone else?? Also, does anyone know of a kind that does not stink? Thanks, Shelley

I agree - My sense of smell is much stronger. A friend suggested it was because I had gotten rid of all the toxins in my body and everything is running better now. Well I can't stand the smell of subway or other fast food so that is good. I have stuck with types with more flavor and the smell doesn't seem too bad. I like chocolate and I add mint extract to it or Strawberry. Those seem to cover the protein smell somewhat. I am also now drinking the IDS New Whey- It comes in a test tube and is in a few fruit flavors. I add it to water as it is pretty strong tasting and very sweet. It comes in a 3 ounce tube and either 28 or 42 grams of protein. It is getting me out of the milk shake blahs. It is good to talk to someone in the same boat- Jennifer

I'm 6 1/2 weeks post op and I also drink the New Whey 3 oz. vials. I mix each of the 3 oz with 8 oz of water to thin down the strong taste. It gets me 42 of my 60 grams for the day and I don't have to drink a conventional shake. I do have shakes, though, and the smell is bad, so I fixed it by drinking it only out of rubbermaid on the go closed drink containers. Your mouth covers the entire drinking hole, so you can't smell it. That REALLY made the difference between 'drinking' and 'gagging' for me.

LOL I thought it was just me and my wonder nose as my hubby calls it..LOL I can smell things a mile away I think. I drink proti 15 ....I buy it from my Dr's office, but I think you can get it online. I like the grape and peach mango the best.

I get the chocolate kind from wal mart and add a scoop to my coffee, can u say cafe' mocha? MMMMM! quit smelling it, it all smells gross. ben.
