Probably a decent amount to avoid muscle loss, but I don't think it's as crucially important as post-op.  Have you asked your surgeon?

No, I havent.  For the first two weeks of the three week diet, he suggest protien bars, yogart, chicken broth, sugar free jello, things of that nature.  Because Im trying to loose some weight before surgery, Im taking it up a notch.  Protien drinks, liquidfied soup, thats easier for me to stay on then being able to eat a protien bar, and have different things.  I like a tight regimine.
