I'm 3 weeks out of surgery, lap-band..
How much can my stomach hold?
Do I have to leave an hour before AND after eating before drinking?
Do protein shakes like Atkins count as eating or drinking???
I'm getting frustrated with planning cups of water to the minute. I am used to being that girl that always carries a water bottle around, and I tend to drink water or tea without thinking about it. What did anyone else do?

If you don't have any restriction you can probably eat quite a bit. Having an unfilled band is like having a very cool car with 4 flat tires. It isn't going to get you far.
Protein shakes are both a meal and liquids. It's a liquid meal all by itself. IOW, one protein shake is a full meal. With that said you still don't have restriction so it may not work for you yet.
