Emotional prep prior to surgery

I am early in the stages of researching and contemplating WLS. I, like everyone else here, have tried many diets and, like many, have a problem with binge eating. In making this decision, I am attempting to be brutally honest with myself about my motivations and intentions. I know that I always go into new diets or treatment regimins certain that "this will be the one that works" and am never completely able to stick to the program. The possible side effects of this surgery (lap rny) make self imposed failure unexceptable to me. I have scheduled an appointmet to begin working with a therapist on the psych preparation for the surgery and intend to continue with her should I have surgery. My question is about the exercise and diet behaviors I should begin to incorporate into my life. I figure if I can't do it now chances are I will have difficulty later. Any thoughts or suggestions? Am I overthinking this?
