diet for preop

The nutrionist told me I need to follow a liquid diet of sugarless carnation instant breakfast 2 weeks before surgery. Is that common? How importants is this? I have never been successful with liquid diets, but I do want to do what is best to prepare for my surgery. Please send me some advice. Thanks
