I am drinking a vanilla Protein Shake right now. So I will get 40 grams of Protein today.

There is alot of Protein in lentils and black Beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black Beans in the crock pot right now.

Exactly as @Orchids&Dragons said. beans and lentils are good, but they are not very Protein dense compared to other sources. "tiny portions" throughout the week is not going to make a dent your protein needs.

I get it, Protein Shakes, Water, etc., don't taste great. But you really don't want to go very long depriving your body of protein.

The Protein waters are easier to get down, imho. They're still quite sweet, so I Water them down or add ice. But both the waters and the shakes counts toward both your Fluid and your protein requirements.

They tasted awful maybe I’ll try to Water it down like you I’m getting fluids from the water/ crystal light and one Protein Shake

Have you tried Protein2O? It actually had no Protein taste at all to me, I really liked the flavors I tried.

And they do sell it at Walmart, at least my,local,one does The Pure Protein waters, maybe Sams Club or costco. Also check Meijer, Target, Kroger, Winn Dixie whatever else,you might,have around, failing that Bariatric Pal Store and last resort Megopolis Amazon. I'd much,rather enrich Alex Brecher's wallet --who,looks out for us here than Amazon,who just lives for profit. But that may just be my viewpoint,on the subject. It is still a country with free choice.
