Get used to things I don't like prior to surgery?

Now that I have a date (October 31st) it is real to me that I am having this procedure. I have a part time weekend job that allows me to read the boards (as long as the phones are answered) and write down questions and recommendations. I have already let go of the Cokes and working on the sweet tea. Wednesday, I will start my post-op diet. I know from reading the postings that your tastes often change dramaticaly post-op. I am afraid that if I start drinking the protein shakes / instant breakfast, etc. that I already don't like and get used to them (tolerate them) that post-op I will HATE. Is it better to not taste, try, get used to things before surgery? During my Curves weight loss try I gagged down the protein shakes daily and honestly was not fond of them at all. I've never liked milk, cottage cheese, and anything dairy related. (two/three bites of icecream is enough for me)so I am praying that I suddenly like dairy post-op and will love the protein shakes. I am going into this with a positive attitude and am saying positive affirmations to myself (I CAN tolerate this milk, cheese, etc.) but would welcome feedback from those that have experience in this area.
