no, Jay Robb does not have a smell compared to all other Protein powders I have tried ... it's "unflavored" and does not have a smell ... that's why I was able to use it .. I hate the smell of Protein Powder too .. makes me gag ... and this did not have that ichy smell. keep the peace!

jasleeve, have you tried to "cover up" the smell of the Protein? I was the same as you, as soon as the "smell" got to my nose I was pushing it away. Then I tried putting some "vicks vapor rub" on my nose/upper lip area and then I found I could drink the unjury chicken Soup or the other Protein shakes sinces all I was able to smell was vicks vapor rub. Since the stomach is so tiny you can only do a couple of sips at a time and by then the vicks was starting to wear off, but it did help me get a little Protein down, just a little at a time.

I hope you start to feeling better soon, cuz it really does get better and it really is worth it once you get past this point. Just keep on hanging in there!

I'm so sorry you are experiencing so much pain. I think each person's recovery is different. Two days out I was ok and by the 4th day I felt 100%. Trust me, as time goes by you'll feel a little better each day. Be encouraged and take it easy. Don 't be so quick to recover. You don't want to hurt yourself by doing too much.

All the best,

Niki
