Is anyone else terrified of old habits

Hi all. I am three months pre op and very excited about my upcoming lap RNY. My friends and family all ask the question I'm sure you all heard pre op "are you scared?" I can honestly answer no Im not (well not yet at least) but what I am scared of, what literly keeps me awake at night is what if after all the pain and trouble of surgery I slip back into my old habits and gain it all back. I have never succeded at a diet and I have no will power, that has been proven. Just the fact that I am obese enough to need this surgery should prove that I am totaly out of control of my eating habits. And to tell me that I am to stick to what seems to be a pretty strickt eating plan (I am choosing not to call it a diet) for the rest of my life scares me . I have no confidence in my ability. I do not trust myself. Please dont get me wrong I want to succed. But I have a huge fear of failure. does anyone else and how did you conquer it?Thank you all so much! Your always hear when I need you
