The whole not drinking thing

[jrrtubbs]

So I'm still having trouble not drinking during eating. I do it all the time. I've been really bad with my band though. I don't make it to my doctor as often as I should and I eat way too much as a result of not being filled enough and drinking while I eat.

I find the only foods I can really tolerate (of what I eat, I'm unbelievably picky. I don't eat a single veggie, phychologically I just can't do it. Any advice on this would help too) are pastas that are really cooked, rare ground beef, soups, cereal, bagels, some chicken , bannannas, celementines, chili, and a couple of other things that are slipping my mind.

I don't drink much other than water (occasionaly lemonade, coffee, milk or the occasional cocktail) with meals, but I find if I don't drink, no matter what I'm eating other soup) even the first bite always gets stuck. I don't know if that feeling where a bite sits for a minute and then kind of powers through from me taking deep breaths (seems to expand my stomach and let the food pass) is normal or not. I never really even knew that we weren't supposed to drink with meals.

Anyhow I go to my doctor on thursday. He's kind of an intimidating foreign guy and I'm really scared he'll yell at me, but I know its for my own good.

All these things considered, I've still lost 110 lbs in the two years. I feel like I could've lost more though if I was doing things right.
