Any one with pre surgery diet help

Hi all,  I met with my dr again and he said that I need to go on a 3 month (well 2 1/2 at this point) pre surgery diet.  He wanted me to do pills but they make me sick, so he sudgested I do Medifast.  That is too expensive for me.  Do any of you know if there is a cheeper alternative to medifast?  Please help.

Sorry don't know  anything about Medifast other then my co-worker got very sick on it. Her electrolytes were very messed up. Is slim fast similar? It would be cheaper. What about just a supervised diet through the program dietican? Does he want you on a liquid diet for 3 months? That seems very long.  Good Luck and let us know what happens.
