I had the same emotional issues as you. However, my surgeon does not do the two week starve yourself to death prior to surgery thing. I only had to do that for 2 days. I had like 5 last suppers in two weeks prior to my surgery. Once you have the surgery the important thing then is to follow the docs eating/exercising orders to the T. After surgery, don't worry so much right at first about getting all your vits/supplements in, mostly concentrate on keeping hydrated. Drink your water and protein drinks. I got dehydrated after 1 1/2 weeks and had to be in the hospital for 2 days on an IV to get re-hydrated. Liquids first.
