Default Question about pre-op diet

Can someone explain to me what the 14 day pre-op diet consists of? What are you allowed to have?

I don't have my pre-op appointment until May 16, which is the same day I'm supposed to start the pre-op diet. I'm really wanting to go to the grocery store BEFORE that, because I don't want to go to the store while I'm starving to death, lol.

I can pretty much figure chicken broth, beef broth, and SF jello should be on my shopping list. Maybe I'm allowed SF popsicles too? Not sure about small amounts of fruit juice? Are protein shakes included on the 14 day pre-op diet? What else should I shop for? If I get something that turns out not to be allowed, I'm not overly worried since my husband or son will eventually eat/drink it.

I'm really dreading this phase, but if I'm prepared for it ahead of time, I know it will go a lot smoother for me. Thanks for your help.
