Suggest Treatment For Obstructive Jaundice

Hi, I am Piyush Need a help for my granny.
She is 74 years old. and she is having an obstructive jaundice.
Doctors doubted that it has started from mid dec 2014, but she was quite normal in all daily work and food habit. From first week of january we found that she used to feel very itchy, and her food interest was very less, her loo color was also whitish, so we went for blood test and ultrasonography and found her jaundice level is 16 %. Doctors told as it is an obstructive jaundice so she has to go under surgery.
But she is scared and doesn't wanna go under sugerical procedure.
Can you help me decide what shall we do and how her diet should be?

When we did a blood test we found her Hemoglobin count is 11 but jaundice level is more now as 18 %.

Can you suggest some good way of diet and treatment which will help her.
As right now she is having only fruit juices and light meal as more boiled rice or milk with "TIKHUR" (A HINDI WORD).
