Don't forget to give up caffeine if you currently partake. Caffeine withdrawal while recovering from surgery is an unnecessary complication.

Just focus on what you CAN have. I had a 2 week pre surgery liquid diet but on the first week I was allowed up to 4 oz of meat once a day if needed. I only did it 3 times but if it gets too rough in the first few days you might want to try that.

I really didn't mind the liquid diet. I too went a little crazy eating the month before surgery so I was ready for the change.

good for you, the first 3 days are the hardest. i cut caffine cold turkey and had terrible headaches, i added half of a cup of coffee back for a couple days and when i quit again, no headache... also i didn't sleep well the first week, so hungry at bed time. i found a ts of peanut butter and a sip of skim milk helped me alot. now it's all liquids and only clear liquids tomorrow.. surgery monday morning!!
