I am scheduled on 10/9 - nervous, but certain of my decision.  My pre-op diet starts next week.  My dr has me on liquids, but yours may not.  The key is high protein (70g+), low carb (under 60g, many dr say under 40g for preop), and less than 1000 calories.  Some people do Optifast, some do Medifast (even the one with 1 meal of "real" food), and others do their own thing, just sticking to the principals.

Good luck with whatever you do!!
