I always knew I was a "drinker" but I notice it SOOOOO much more now that I can't eat/drink within 15-30 min of each other. I was the person at the table who would've had 1-3 refills before my food even came. I realize I was drinking a LOT of calories when I drank Sprite (my drink of choice) sooo I switched it up to Water with lemons/cherries (on the side). That was a healthier solution but ... with the sleeve I still have to wait on that too. It's taking some getting used to on my part when it comes to not drinking /eating together. Sometimes I just want a sip to wash it all down and change the flavor. I find its even more difficult when I go out to eat with family or friends.

What old habits are dieing hard for you??

I am five weeks out and this is definately hard for me as well. I cant eat anything that has any spice to it because I cant drink! makes me sad. lol. Maybe we will get used to it.

I too have to either not put the drink on the table or order one to go.. it is definitely hard I am 6 weeks and 3 days.. very hard one.. to break..

i still don't chew my food enough and suffer waves of pain. It makes eating miserable sometime. Also, I'm not getting enough fluids in because of having wait an hour after eating.

My Dr. has me waiting a half hour after eating, I could not even imagine 1 hour. :-(

I wait 30 min after eating ... I'm always staring at the clock waiting to have a drink. lol I couldn't imagine waiting 1hr. Will you be able to cut back to 30 min in the future Mina?
