After surgery, how do I avoid falling into my old habits - snacking, wrong foods, etc

I'm always amazed by the incredible weight losses that I see everyone acheiving. What I can't help wondering is how do you avoid doing all the things that got you to your starting weight in the first place? Diets have never worked for me because I'm a snacker. If my kids want the crusts cut off their grilled cheese then I have to eat them. I'm sure that there are MANY post-op people here who were like this. Why is it that after the surgery, you were all able to DRASTICALLY change your eating habits. I understand about dumping and intolerace to certain foods. The way I am now, I would just find other foods that didn't bother me. I'm scheduled for surgery on 9/26 and know that it's the right choice for me based on everything that I've read. It obviously works, I just want to know HOW! It comes down to - IF I HAVE NO WILLPOWER NOW, WHY WILL I HAVE WILLPOWER AFTER SURGERY??
