I have a few questions I'd like to ask all rolled in to one post...

1) My surgeon doesn't have me see a nutrutionist pre op, but in the hospital, is that normal?? 2) My surgery is 1 month from now, what should I do other than buy my liquid diet food and get my Vitamin's, etc to prepare for this surgery. What would you have done had you have it to do all over again? I am having a very Proximal RNY. 3) I gave my new work schedule for the next 2 months to my employer. When asked why I needed the time off, I said I was having surgery. I told her that I wanted to keep it private, and I didn't tell her what kind of surgery I was having. Question is, what do I say when my weight loss is apparent? Not that I feel embarrased having WLS, but I don't want to tell these people. These are not the people who will understand. I will be given a lot of _______ if they found out. 4) I would like to 'jumpstart' my weight loss by dieting now, pre op. However, I feel compelled to eat all the junk I can, since I wont be able to do so post op. I am not a drinker as well, but yesterday, I bought a large bottle of Rum, knowing I could never finish it in 6 months, let alone a month. Why did I do that? Now it's like I am sabbotaging myself and my Weight Loss before it even starts! I am planning my 'last meal', but there is so much I want one last time of, it would take me the last week's full of meals. Help! 5) We drink city water. But recently we got a notice that we have elevated levels of Copper in our water. Should I only use bottled water, or just run the water like the city suggests? Sorry this was long winded, but I wanted to get it all in one post rather than 5 posts. Thanks in advance for your advice. Oh! I thought of another question!! :) Protein... I have read my different types of powder's to try. I have a GNC nearby. What should I try first? Is there a 'gold standard'?? Ok, I'm done. :) Bless you all, Annie
