What's happening to me? I'm becoming repulsed by my food.

I'm almost 10 weeks post RNY (distal) and I'm presently on a "soft food diet". I also occassionly get a starving feeling but when I bring my food to my mouth, I feel sick to my stomach and repulsed. I eat stuff like meatball/meatloaf, canned tuna, turkey & ham, yogurt, cottage cheese, string (mozzerella), muenster, cheddar cheeses (LF), mashed potatoes, scrambled egg, plus I have my protein shakes. I still am trying to work on my water intake which I think would help keep away any between meal starving feeling. But where the food is concerned, I think it's the smell of the food that initially makes me sick. I force down 2 or 3 tiny bites so my body doesn't go into starvation mode. Of the foods listed, I usually have no problem with the string cheese or any other mild cheese. And I have no problem at all with the protein shakes; I'm getting in 60 grams/day (ProBlend 55 mixed in water). Maybe I should be happy that I don't want to, or can't eat. Is this normal? Maybe it's just that I'm sick & tired of this kind of food over & over?
