Anyone else had a problem with the smell?

I know some of us have a wacky sense of smell post op. I am 10 days out (lap RNY 1.2.02) and the smell of protein shakes is killing me. The taste is fine, but they smell like milk. I mix them with water, 4oz to be exact. I don't know what the issue is. Right now, I am taking one shake per day (@30 grams- I'm using my samples from Vitalady) and two doses of Cheramino, which has 15 grams in 2 Tbls. That is 60 grams a day, plus what I am eating. My doc has me on the soft diet, so I was thinking if I tossed some baby food bananas or something in the blender with the shake, it might cover the smell. Anyone have ideas on this?
