Surgery coming up

So next week, I start my 1 week pre-op diet of all protein drinks with 1 small meal a day. Sugery is January 13, and the nerves are kicking in. I'm ready, prepared and excited for this permanent change of life, I guess the devil is just trying to get in the way right now. Any advise for this last bit of time? 

My surgeon would be happy if his patients had protein supplements and water for two years and only came up with a diet plan to pacify his patients who worry about what and when they can eat, I'm not really thinking about what I can eat when, that's what got me into this mess anyway. It just seems like commercials about food are on tv every five seconds or showing up in my Pinterest and Facebook boards every time I turn around. I've been on a low carb diet since last March anyway and I know I am not really interested in any of it anyway and I honestly don't crave it at all, I guess it's like I said, the devil is in the details right now.

The best thing to do to succeed is to get organized in all facets of the new lifestyle to come. Then, update your profile here so that we know what we're dealing with. Your current weight, surgery type, gender and other factors will cause advice given you to differ.

Welcome. This is a great place, filled with many smart people. Read all you can, and most of your questions will be answered before you even knew you had to ask them.

GOOD LUCK.

Good luck! I'm right there beside you, 1 week clear liquids no solids and surgery on then12th! I already started my liquid diet though so it won't be so much of a hassle when the crunch time comes :)
