Strange Odor from your body?

I am 3 days post-op and I am miserable. I can't burp and I don't know what to do about that. Also, I can smell this horrid odor coming from my body and not sure why - thinking lack of carbs but how do I get rid of it if so?

I would REALLY appreciate some thoughts. Thank you!
