I thought that there was somehting wrong with me. I have always liked chocolate...but nothing like since being banded. There are certain chocolate items that I have been eating that in the past never appealed to me. I also take Flintstones Chewables. Mine are w/Iron. I don't think that the Vitamins are the catalyst for me. The PA in my surgeons office said that the sweet cravings may be an indication that I am not drinking enough Water. After reading this post and realizing that I am not alone, I wonder if you are drinking enough water. Truthfully, I have not been. Let's see if increased water intake will take care of the chocolate cravings.

Hi all, Although this is my first post,I have visited the site often since my banding on April 12, 2007. For those motorcyclists, how long after surgery could you ride? My surgeon says 4-6 weeks depending on my healing. Thanks for your help.
