Greetings!

Nothing but positive review from me and praise for Dr. Balette and his staff. Very professional, cares very much for you as a patient. Was my surgeon who did the gastric sleeve would HIGHLY recommend Dr Balette and his staff. CHI ST.Luke's in the woodlands TX was GREAT! Nursing staff very very competent, compassionate and "Johnny on the spot" on my overnight stay after surgery. Ty Nurse Sarah and Shania!

Greetings! I belong to the "Dr. Balette" club as well. He performed my surgery on 11/04/14 at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. Great surgeon and staff. Just started puree diet yesterday but after the liquid phases, I feel like I'm in food heaven. Keeping everything down so far - just some occasional bouts of nausea. For the first time today, I tried some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein Water and was pleasantly surprised at how well it tasted. Got 21 grams of Protein and 8 oz of Water in one drink!

Have either of you been to the support group that's held at Memorial Hermann on 1st and 3rd Thursday?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
