I have a lot to lose. I was just reading about the desire to eat after the swelling goes down and before your fill. Looks like I need to start controlling the hunger. Thanks

Every surgeon has their own pre-surgery diet. Not all of them are liquid only. I am surprised that your surgeon didn't tell you what you are supposed to be eating right now.
