Do you count protein drinks as liquid or a meal or both?

Two weeks out and I'm on a pureed diet. I typically eat 6 times a day with a protein drink for one or two of those mini-meals. Can I count the protein drink as a meal and fluid? Do you still wait 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a protein drink meal to drink other fluids?
