I am a gastric sleeve failure

The hardest adjustment for me is to not drink and eat at the same time. Before I would never eat without something to drink.

I literally used to drink FOUR glasses of Water through the course of a meal at a restaurant. I am not joking. But I adapted to the not eating and drinking at the same time thing pretty well. Took me maybe a month or two after I was on solid foods? I usually just wouldn't allow myself to have anything to drink within reach while I was eating. Now I can have a glass of Water sitting right there and I just won't touch it. My plan allows me to drink right up to the time I start eating (don't have to stop beforehand like some plans call for). And then wait at least 20 minutes after eating. But I usually wait more like 40, just because I'm full from my food and don't feel like I have room for any water for at least that long.
