I am on day #4 on my pre-op diet. My surgery is scheduled for March 18th. This week I am suppose to drink 2 shakes and have 3-4 oz of chicken, fish or turkey (without the skin and not fried) along with unlimited veggies that are on a list from my dr and 1 fruit a day that is on the list from the doctor. This is really tough for me. I do this until Monday and then it is suppose to be just 3 shakes a day and Water until my surgery. The past 2 nights I did add a piece of cheese. It is going to be tough enough to do this after surgery, but doing it before surgery is even harder. I understand they want to shrink my liver before surgery. What are some of the things that you are able to have pre-op? This surgery isnt an option for me. I have to do it. I know that I can't lose the weight and keep it off any other way.

I welcome any tips/advice to help me through this .
