I am the kinda person who loves to eat and I am afraid that I will continue eating the samw after the surgery and will fail in this step too

If you know this about yourself, then what are you doing to change this? Are you working with a therapist? Are you attending support groups?

I am not sure yet . I am having my vsg in two day on the 19th of October.

What do you suggest? Or do you anyone in my situation that tried something and actually got some benefits of it ?

Y'know you can prepare for everything and there will be things you missed. I declined a VSG 4 years ago because I didn't think I was ready for it. I went to regular therapy sessions until I thought I was truly ready.

I'm about 2 months out and I still struggle with the practical and psychological aspects of food, but the VSG has been a great tool to help me renegotiate this dysfunctional relationship. I think it's great that you're airing out your anxieties and misgivings. This is a big decision and shouldn't be done casually. Also you're not alone, as you can tell this feeling is very common and it's great you're confronting it.

Good luck to you.
