I am new to this forum, and I was reading and checking from my surgeon, and I am glad to find some of him. Yes I know very well my surgeon in fact he did my surgery the Jan 14th 2008. I have only 1 week after surgery, I feel perfect. I had an appointment today with him, and for this first week I already lost 7 pounds, and is great, but still with a lot of questions regarding the diet, I have my appointment with my nutritionist in one month, Dr. Contreras gave me a diet for this month a high Protein diet and with clear and complete liquids. Also when is the first fill I would like to know more... he already explain me everything, but I would like to know more from someone that already experienced all this; because I fill great but I need someone that would like to share.
