I'll tell you what I do.  I am supposed to aim for 50g of protein through supplements.  I use Jay Robb and put it in 4 oz of unsweetened almond milk twice a day.  ( 1 scoop -one mid morning and another mid-afternoon) That way I can get it down in a few swigs each time. 50g boom- done. I tried Isopure but found it hard to get the 20 oz down and I was still short 10g.  The small concentrated jay robb drink leaves me enough time to drink my  other fluids. 

I drink a cup of tea or plain water or I put mio into my water and can drink it much faster.  The fluids in your protein drinks should be counted towards your total.  

I think once you get enough protein and fluid in you, you will feel much better.  You are about a week behind me, I felt quite rough for the first 5-6 days but feel much better now and my energy isn't bad.  I put that down to the fact that I seem to be able to get the protein, fluids and vits in me.

I also just started the mushies.   When I was on fluids, I was allowed yogurt.  The greek yogurt is about 18g a tub.  I ate half in the am and the other half in the pm.  I was also allowed jello and pudding (sugar-free) and I ate that too as well as butternut squash soup.  I didn't feel deprived and so far (touch wood) things are going well.  If you eat soup, that would contribute to you fluid count as well.  Eat half a cup per serving so you don't go over the sugar limits.

Hope this helps.
