A friend of mine had the surgery 3 years ago, so I talk to her all the time about it now that I am thinking about it. She said that most junk foods she has sworn off because she has lost the taste for them. Some though she has found that she can eat a little and be happy with it.
She used to eat the whole bag of M&M's but now she eats a few, likes the taste better and is ok with not eating anymore for a while.
I think that you have to sign the paper with your doctor if that is his hoop for you to jump through. But understand that like any diet when you try to deny yourself something simply by will power it is nearly if not completly impossible to do.
You will probably willing give up most junk foods, the dumping thing will probably be enough of a motivation and some things you might just lose a taste for but others you will eat. But the difference between now and then as I understand it is that you won't eat as much then as you do now you just won't be able to.
So take it a little at a time and see how it goes.
Good luck
