5 Weeks Out, System is Touchy.. Need Food Suggestions.

I am 5 wks open rny and am having a hard time with food choices. Dairy is out, protein supps make me very sick, any kind of meat/cheese is disgusting, pasta is too hard on my stomach and smells are giving me the dry heaves. I know that some of this may be "normal" but I really need to get something in me that sits well. I do have a sinus inf and am on antibiotics so the sinus drainage could be part of the problem. It seems the only things I eat are toast with p-butter, pretzels (getting old fast!), mashed potatoes, some oatmeal, have tried pea soup (homemade so I know whats in it) and Quakes (mini rice cakes. I had a bad experience a couple weeks ago with rice also. My fluids are just ok, I still dont think I am drinking what I should. My surgeon doesnt push the protein drinks and the ones I have tried so far just disgust me. I am starting to get the dry heaves with just the thought of food or even stepping foot in my kitchen. Any advice or how long with this last??? I am due to go back to work next week, but surgeon wont allow unless I can eat and drink reasonably well.
