I'm not sure about the one in June...I can't get a fill until July so they said that i didn't need to worry about the June meeting...than again i paid for it i should at least attend the meeting...I am out of town the week before so i will have to see what work is like when i get back...It would definately be great to meet you and other people that have been banded in the area...

I know what you mean about the munchies...mine isn't for chocolate it's for salty....I've learned when i get a crazing it's better to have a bit and not continue to crave it...I had been craving chips and salsa....I mixed my salsa with my cottage cheese and it was actually really good...not don't get me wrong...chocolate with cottage cheese doesn't even sounds good...but have you tried the Dark Chocolate??? I've heard that if you take a bit and let it melt in your mouth then wait 5 minutes it should help...you have have to try a couple bites but it's suppose to help....I had started to crave chocolate over the weekend so i went to walmart and bought a package of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate...pre-op i would have gotten milk chocolate or carmal and eatten the whole bag...but today i opend the bag...each piece of chocolate is individually wraped and i broke it apart and took a small piece and waiting 5 minutes and then took another small peice...now i'm not craving chocolate at all...and i actually only ate 1/4 of the individually wraped piece...You can also try SF chocolate pudding or even protein shake...just do what you can to take care of what you are craving while trying to stick with what is good for you and your band...Good Luck....You can do it...You are worth it...
