Afraid of still wanting to binge eat after surgery

I am going to have my surgery for a RNY this Oct. I am a binge eater and also crave fat foods all the time. Especially at night. I've been eating like this for so many years now. Fast foods, pizza, cheese, junk foods, soda, well you get the point. i have never been good with diets either. I have always been a picky eater too which doesn't help the situation. Was never much for the salads and veggies except a few. I am afraid that after surgery I will still have these desires to basically eat everything in site and that I will tear my stomache or something. My doctor told me that he had this woman go home and eat chicken and beans and as he put it "she messed herself up." I'm not sure what he meant by that but it doesn't sound good anyway. My questions are: does that feeling to want to binge eat and also eat fat foods go away after the surgery or do you have to fight it all the time? is it possible to actually eat too much and tear your stomache open? Anyone who has had this surgery what foods have you not been able to eat again?
