No drinking while eating is killing me!!!!
Two suggestions to help you out, first just don't take a drink with you when you eat and second set a timer for 1/2 hour-hour after your meal then you'll know when to start drinking again. This is something I practised before banding that and chewing alot. It just takes some practice and it will become second nature.

I found that I didn't really drink as much water as I should and I was getting headaches. So I've started making decaf iced tea w/stevia and find that I tend to drink a lot more of it. So I figure as long as I'm getting more liquids in then I'm golden. Good luck trying to find something that works for you.
I had a hard time with that, too. I started making myself drink a bottle of water before each meal. My Dr doesn't mind if we drink up to the time we eat. I only have to wait 30 minutes after. I know you got a lot of ideas. It'll become easier. Continued good luck!!
Edited to add : I think one reason it's harder to drink, I am less thirsty because I don't eat all the food with salt in it, anymore. The few times I've had something salty it was really easy to drink. LOL
