Default Info needed urgently

Hi all

Some of the questions I have concerning the RNY have been answered in other threads but I do need some more info. Those that have gone through the lap RNY, please help.

1. Since starting to loose my pre-op weight (20.25 pounds in 4 weeks) I feel cold most of the time. I never experienced cold in a bad way. Is this normal?
2. How soon after the surgery can I go back to the gym? Although I am big, I have been exercising three times a week. I am quite fit for my size.
3. What does the liquid diet before the surgery consist of? I am diabetic and need to watch what I eat very carefully.
4. If one cannot eat solids after the surgery, will I be able to swallow pills without difficulty?
5. Does one's hair really fall out after the surgery and if so, what can be done to assist in the re-growth of hair?

Hope you guys can help.
