got my surgery date 7/27

oh, wow! i am so sorry i posted the stuff above without making sure that it was clear which appointments i have completed.
so far, i did the general interest meeting, the psych eval, the initial appointment with the nurse practitioner, and also the 2 hours with the dietitian. all those were part of the approval process.
next i am going to start my appointments that they give you at 2 weeks out, but that is not for about 10 days or so.
what i was asking is if anyone has any advice as to what i should be doing with the next ten days. should i be buying anything special? should i be doing anything to prepare my kitchen?
up until 2 months ago when i went in for my psych eval, i have been a vegetarian and vegan soul food caterer and believe me, it sounds healthy but i never had any concern for calories when i cooked. i just used organic stuff that was not associated with animals in any way. after years of being vegan, i can honestly say that i gained more weight eating like that than i ever did before.
so basically, i am trying to get an idea of how to set up my house and have an idea of what kind of money i need to set aside for non-food items. another thing i am wondering is if i should be practicing eating a certain way so that it doesn't drop on me like a falling sky.
please, if anyone has gone through the process of setting themselves up in the last 3 weeks, i would love to know! keep in mind, they only gave me 39 days from the day my approval letter came until i am going to be going in for surgery and i had not expected it to be this soon.
thanks for reading this far down the page, and i am looking forward to the answers, especially because i am thinking that they will help many more people than just me.
adios & ciao ciao from AFRICAT
