How can I expect myself to follow a plan post-op if I haven't pre-op?

I'm in the home stretch toward my Open RnY (29 days to go -- October 9) and I'm asking myself hard questions that I refused to really face before now. I wasn't able to stick with -- long term -- an eating plan before, so what makes me think I'll be able to do it now? I suppose this is the fear of wls failure manifesting itself, but now I'm really concerned. I'm good with an eating plan for a couple of months -- shoot, I even stayed on Atkins for 18 months! -- but to be on a specific eating plan for the rest of my life? Can I do it? Maybe I'm equating "eating plan" with "DIET". Maybe I should ask my surgeon for some sedatives for NOW! <wobbly grin> Thanks for any words of wisdom.
