Can you get your water in as you are drinking your protein?

I'm 5 days post op. I get the 3 meals in, the multivitamin and the calcium and sip water all day long. I've tried 2 different protein drinks, myoplex (25Gm) and Extreme Pure (42 Gm). Drinking in all the protein slowly (sip, sip, sip)takes forever. I'd really rather just be drinking straight water - it tastes better to me. I seem to spend all day sipping the protein drink ~ and today, I never got more than half the Extreme Pure finished. So that made it just 21 gm for the day. And I doubt if I got enough water in since the protein drink was taking forever. It made me too full. So, to get to the question ~ when I add protein powder to water, does that water count as part of the 48 oz? If I use the premixed extreme pure can I count that amount of liquid as part of the daily liquid?
