I can think of three approaches that should work:

1. Create a Sink which "forks" its input to two other Sinks (similar
to &&& for Arrow). It would have a type signature like: Sink a m b ->
Sink a m c -> Sink a m (b, c)
2. Create a specialized Sink that will wrap a single sink and add the
byte count of the input stream, eg: Sink ByteString m a -> Sink
ByteString m (Int, a)
3. Use a Conduit that will simply update some mutable variable.

I think (1) is the most generally useful, though (3) would be the
easiest to put together. If you want help implementing any of these
approaches, let me know.
