Calling all former Pre-Op CARB addicts...need your expertise....

I am the BIGGEST carb addict (well, maybe not the biggest...) on the face of the earth. For instance, without even thinking about it, I always gravitate towards breads, potatoes, you know...the starchy stuff. Now that I've been approved and my surgery is in one month (just approved for 7/7/03), I've been trying to choose protein-laden items over the carbs. I'm having a big problem with this. I cannot imagine EVER wanted to chaw on a stick of beef jerky, and i tried one protein shake (Met-Rx)and was not all that pleased with the flavor. MY QUESTION IS how many former carb addicts have made an easy conversion to the "protein" side after surgery, and how many are still craving the carbs (and have to fight the carb urge every day)?
