I WANT TO DRINK!

I have had many ups and downs after this surgery. Was completely sick for the first couple weeks then on week 5 had my gallbladder taken out. could not eat for a week after that. My hair is was falling out and my nails were breaking off. Now I am where I can eat and drink and take vitamins like I am suppose to. So hopefully all of that will get better. But the not being able to drink while you eat is freaking killing me. I am one who chokes very easy and I would take a sip of drink (Water, tea, whatever) anytime I ate anything. Now I can not drink anything while I eat and I can not stand it. And yes I knew this before the surgery and I knew this would be my biggest problem but I just wanted to vent for a second so there I did it.

And another thing............. how is it anyone else's business at the restaurant if I do not have a drink or if Im taking small bites and then do not eat but 3 bites of my food. Hey strange dude that I do not know. You did not pay for my food I did. If I wanna only take 3 bites then that's what Ill do. (I did not waste it, I did give to hubby)
