Sandy, hang in there...the first few weeks are *the* hardest. We all have to start out easy with our new pouches...it's like feeding a newborn...you wouldn't feed it regular food, would you? Try to be creative with the soups and add flavorings/seasonings that you like (and that ok to try according to your surgeons recommendations). I remember that when I was early post-op sugar free popscicles helped A LOT.
As far as the milk goes...are you trying the skim milk or 2%? My husband could not tolerate milk at the beginning...so he drank soy milk and that was good for him...then he changed to regular milk.
The smell of food being cooked...I know...almost torture...but I remember just feeling nauseous at the smell of it. You know what I did was watch the Food Network a lot...I know how does this help? I dunno but it did. LOL 
Good Luck and hang in there it will get easier.
