I've never heard of protein water! I'll have to try it, I only took the nausea meds the first days when I came home. I wasn't sure if tomato soup would give me heartburn (love the stuff though) I've been making broths and a stew (for hubby too) but found that it was too much, I'll have to freeze it and try again in a couple weeks. I'm having the up and go drinks in the box but can only have like 1/3 then have to put it back to the fridge. I just bought some calcium chews as I run low anyways. Nice to be able to chat with someone who is so close on the journey.
