I will definitely do it at least 4 days prior to surgery. I figure doubling what my mom did should be good.

UGH. It's like asking a heroin addict to just go cold turkey for 2 weeks before they go into rehab!
Hi, apologies for jumping in like this (never posted before ), but my consultant said that the surgeon will know if you have not followed the diet rigerously. So my advice is Suck it up...do as the nice man asks....you know its important & you know you can do it - its for the right reason, bonus could be that you may well have an easier time of it post-op. Good Luck :-)

Just my humble opinion
