I went through the exact thing with my sense of smell and taste. Keep trying different things until you find foods that work for you. I could not tolerate most artificial sweeteners so I got unsweetened egg protein and added Stevia (you can get NuStevia at GNC - it does not have the bitter sftertaste that some do). I used a little fruit juice or a little instant decaf coffee to flavor it, and put it in the blender with some ice.

I mixed my water with just a little fruit juice (like 1/4 cup to 16 ounces.) But be sure to check with your nut to make sure that's ok.

What went down and tasted good to me was Campbell's bean and bacon soup and their split pea with ham soup. I put it into the food processor and added a teaspoon of the protein when I added the milk. I suggest taking Bean-O with it so it doesn't gas you up too badly. I also enjoyed the fruit babyfood (just be careful of the carbs.)

The good news is that it DOES go away. Hang in there.

I had the smell issue as well.. Everyone reeked of garlic! It does get better. As far as eating goes.. That is still an issue for me

I'm six months out and I just don't get turned on by food.. When I do eat I feel like crap for about 30-45 minutes then I'm good to go.. Hope you feel better soon

For the first few months I had the same problem. I do have to say that I have to have my shakes with ice and milk/almond milk blended in my Magic Bullet. Love them, they taste like a milk shake. My friend mixes her Nectar protein powders in her yogurt and just loves them. For some reason that is not my thing. Everything changes for us, taste buds etc. Eventually you will find what works for you and you will be off an running....
Good luck to you.

Moving on to better health

Try Nectar protein drinks...Many different flavors, mostly fruity. Not as thick as the the others and not very smelly either. Tastes great as a slush...You can get them online.

Nectar powder is the smelliest stuff in the world. It even stunck up my pantry. I had to remove the tubs and put them in the garage. I also have 3 bottles of IsoPure. Took a sip of one and gagged!!
