What changes the mind and habits after surgery?

 I've been researching many surgeries and believe DS would be the one for me if I am a candidate, however my Mom, sisters and husband ask the question, what's going to change how you eat after the surgery, when you have bad habits now?  How would your mind set change?  I don't know how to answer this.

Two of my sisters are nurses are are also concerned about the surgery...I told them to write down all their questions before I go to the surgeons seminar.
Thanks,
Holly

There are big changes after surgery....number 1 you CAN NOT eat more than a bite or 2 so it has to be protein. I am 6 weeks out and still not eating much so there is no room for the "old food". This will change eventually and you will be able to eat more and have more choices. The one thing with the DS is you CAN eat a more normal diet and still maintain as long as you don't go crazy with carbs. Our bodies are designed to absorb carbs so go crazy on carbs and you will gain or not lose. Have you checked out the DS forum on here? They are great help!
