Seriously struggling

Finally have a date for surgery - 30th October 🥳

My hospital called me on the 22nd September offering me a cancellation for the 24th September. I had to say no as they have given me the liver shrinkage diet which I hadn’t started yet. They said if I started the diet now, I could take a cancellation in 2 weeks which would’ve been from the 7th October.
I’ve been calling nearly everyday asking if there are any cancellations and there are none.
I don’t want to give up on cancellations and would have to start my 2 week diet soon anyway for surgery on the 30th but I am seriously struggling.

Currently I have:
Breakfast - protein drink and an apple
Lunch - chicken salad
Dinner - 2 poached eggs on 3 ham slices
Snack - jelly pot

This is my food every day and I am STRUGGLING. I am already such a fussy eater but how dry everything is, is killing me. I am knackered, I have no energy and have no motivation anymore.

I’m in the UK, but everyone seems to have been given different restrictions on their liver shrinkage diets. Please please tell me, what did you eat before surgery and it still be successful 🙏🏼

NHS referral - how long?

Anyone who got referred for surgery via their GP, how long did it take to find out if you were put on the waiting list?
Been waiting 4 weeks and my NHS app still says ‘referral in review’ but the GP said it would only take a couple weeks
