Yikes! Got a date :o)

OK, so the long awaited approval is in and the date has been set (2/24 - RNY). I am so in the OMG! moment. In my pre-req with the nutritionist (the one who works with my doctor almost exclusively), I was surprised to learn that the 2wk pre-op "liquid" diet is really a drink for breakfast and lunch, but a sensible low-fat regular dinner. If so, why do they call it liquid then? Anyone think this is incorrect? (FYI -- I have lost 81 lbs pre-op on my own, so I hopefully have done alot to help the surgery already.) What are my guidelines for the drink? Is it a "meal replacement" or a "protein drink"? Must it be sugar free? I will of course get the info from my nut and the dr office, but you guys are a pretty darn valuable resource too! Gosh, I'm all at once scared and excited and confident and doubtful and thankful and.. did I mention scared? Thanks so much :o)
