Pre-op…what scares me

Okay, so if all goes as planned I will have the surgery some time
this summer (Dr. has not yet decided to do just a VBG or VBG with
bypass). What really scares me is this…since I have failed at all
other diets and eating plans, what makes me think that I will stick
with this one after surgery. The dietitian told me that it is fairly
easy to "eat around" the surgery and gain wait despite to procedure.
How can a person who has had such lack of control with food in the
past prevent themselves from doing this in the future?
Has anybody else faced this same fear? How did you deal with it?
Can it possibly be true that I will be satisfied with 1/4 cup meals?
I am scared to death that I will fail at this too and then there will
be no more options for me.
