You're doing the right thing by educating yourself, by visiting the message boards here, and doing your research ahead of time. I'd recommend also getting into an exercise routine if you haven't already, and practice things like sipping water instead of guzzling, and not drinking while eating with meals. Those things can be a challenge to get into a routine post-op, but you can do it!

I think jcheryld pretty much covered everything.  I also started sampling protein shakes but some people say that your taste buds change after surgery so if you find some shakes or powders you like preop, you might not like them post op.

Sip water all day every day so it becomes a habit. 
Don't go into last meal mode and gorge on everything you may mourn eating post op. 
Start cutting back on carbs for the benefit of your liver during surgery. 
Start exercising regularly.
