Prior to surgery has anyone...

Prior to surgery has anyone planned to lose weight, but found it really really difficult because they just can't stop eating? I wanted to drop about 20 pounds before surgery and I just can't seem to do it. I just want to eat. I feel like this is my last chance to enjoy food. I am worried that I may have trouble changing my behaviors after surgery if I can't make changes now. I am attending a support group and I am on this site all the time. I am doing small things like trying to get protein first and drinking more water and no more fast food. I am also cooking more often rather than preparing convenience foods and I am eating more vegetables and fruits. Still I am eating enormous portions and I go back for more way too frequently. I feel like I am always hungry, but I know that can't be. Is it normal to have this problem before surgery? Do/Did others want to eat a lot too? Any suggestions or advice are appreciated. Thank you all for being here for me. I have always found great comfort in your support. Hugs:-)
