I'm confused about Protein Powder...
To be completely honest i started actually exercising after month 9. I was focusing this yr on my nutrition routine and now it will be focusing this rest of the yr and next on weight training etc. I wanted to drop as much as possible without gaining from weight training

Water intake
Buy 20oz bottled water and take 3 to work, they better be gone by the time i get home and this doesnt include other fluids i come across---im up to 4 bottles of 20oz a day plus 11oz protein shake, milk, juice, or coffee---im almost a yr out so i can drink coffee again.

How to deal with going to events
Go and have fun, eat, drink, and def take pictures so that afterwards u can look back and see the difference---my dr said to take a picture while in a door frame b4 the surgery and repeat with the same clothes at 6months and at 1 yr. I have the pics and im glad i have the b4 pics so that i could myself see this change.

I will be honest, im lazy haha so i dont cook my protein at all. Best i could find that works for me is Pure Protein(comes in 11oz soda can looking container) at Vitamin Shoppe. Essentially its 35 g of protein in just 11 oz, 4g or less of carb depending on flavor, 1g sugar. I just drink this at some point in the day and knock out the protein rather than stress about where to fit a powder.

Truly don't know what to do
I felt the same way at first because of the ketosis u taste everything different. I also had trouble finding the protein i liked because they are all sweet and i never cared much for sweets always opting for an appetizer or a second helping rather than dessert. All i can say is i too went thru this and it def gets better, i didnt even want to leave the house or go too far for fear of being away from what i could eat and my vitamins and fluids. It all passes and u will be fine.
