I'm sorry to hear you're having problems.  If you sip, sip, sip as much as you can and walk, walk walk, that should help get rid of 2 problems.  Don't worry about the protein right now.  Usually after about 4 days, you should be feeling better.

Sip and walk as others have said.  I was very emotional also, everything was different.  I couldn't eat my breakfast on the fly any longer, had to get up early and make myself breakfast, and generally had to accept this was the new way.  It will work out great if you embrace it.  Good luck.
