That is exactly the diet I was given pre-op. Full liquids, including cream based soup, yogurt etc and the last 2 days before surgery was clear liquids only.
All surgeons are different but your diet is about the same as most others.
I hope that helps and good luck! We'll be saving a seat on the loser's bench for ya!

My BMI was over 50 before surgery, surgeon requested 3 weeks of pre op liquid diet. It consisted of 5 servings of sugar free carnation instant breakfast with a scoop of protein powder divided among the servings. I was allowed all the sugar free jello, crystal light, sugar free popsicles, V-8 juice and water I wanted. Encouraged to get at least 64 ounces of fluid per day.
I was pleasantly surprised that the shakes and other liquids kept me full. I used the popsicles when I just needed to chew on something. Kept busy with lots of walking and other activities to keep my hands busy. Left my hubby to fend for himself with meals. He had his share and more of fast food. He did not consider it a hardship. lol
The carnation instant breakfast diet worked, but I haven't been interested in using that for a shake since. Each surgeon has a different diet, some use liquid, others a low calorie diet and a bowel prep. I didn't need the bowel prep, surgeon considered 3 weeks of liquids enough of a prep.
