Nina-Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of knowledgable people here that can give you advice, offer support or just listen. The best thing you can do is to follow the direction of your surgeon and nutritionist. This is important so that your surgery can be done safely and that you heal quickly and completely. I think the most difficult thing for almost all of us was the dreaded pre-surgical liquid diet *LOL* Don't be shy about asking questions. Make sure to come back to the forum to let us know how you are doing.
