I am also gonna be buying some unflavored Protein to make me some protein Jello, and to also add to any broth that I might be able to eat. I wish you the best of luck. Please keep me posted. PS-I wish I knew approx. how long it takes NC medicaid for prior approval for surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am excited, but also nervous about the removal part of the surgery. I really hope it is a smooth operation. I feel much better prepared this time around because I have been working with a therapist since February who specialises in emotional eating and uses a mindfulness approach. She has helped me unlock the why and I have had several Aha moments in discovering why I have been an emotional eater since I was a child. I had my band removed and it was a piece of cake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
