Hi. This is fairly similar to my pre-op diet. I did it for 2 weeks and struggled. I think the freedom to actually have food didn't help. However, I found some ready made salads from Pret which were really tasty and meant that I was having some nice lunches without me preparing them, and yet were able to have a little snack late afternoon.
It is hard, and I did have a couple of blips (minor in comparison to what a woman should be eating in a day), but on the whole I managed to track my day in My Fitness Pal and stuck to around 1200 kcals per day.
It was well worth it, I lost 11lbs in 2 weeks and was told by my surgeon that I got a gold medal as it had significantly shrunk my liver.
Please try and stick to it as best you can, it makes the surgery easier for you at the end of the day.
Good luck, and drink plenty to keep those headaches at bay.
