I now (pre-op) eat past the point of comfort - is that going to change post-op?

I'm trying to be honest at the risk of being jumped on. My problem is despite that fact that I *always* feel full and bloated now (I'm still pre-op), I still eat past the point of comfort. I'm worried this won't change after the surgery. I know it's up to me to make sure I eat properly, and i'm REALLY hoping i'm one of the post-ops who says they "forget to eat," or have to "force themselves to eat," but i just get worried. Plus, I don't know if my stomach has a problem with emptying, but today I don't think I've eaten that much and i still feel like i just had Thanksgiving Dinner: for breakfast, a bagel with butter and a glass of milk; for lunch/dinner, maybe 9 or 10 loaded nacho chips and two chicken tacos, with maybe 1/4 cup of rice; I also had a small dessert (a cookie bar). That's IT for food today. Granted, I know this is A LOT more than what post-ops eat, but as a pre-op, I don't think it's that much food. The chicken taco meal was at 2:30pm. It's 12am and i STILL feel uncomfortably bloated!!!!! And to be honest, I felt full after the nacho chip appetizer and didn't stop eating (however, I did leave one chicken taco, 3/4 c. of rice and all of the beans on the plate). MY (long-winded) POINT IS, if i can NOW eat past the point of comfort, will i keep doing this after surgery?
