i find myself these days trying to eat everything. My mind is telling me that post-op I will no longer be able to eat alot of what I love to eat. Has anyone else gone thru this ? And if so....any advice on how to deal with it. I am afraid of gaining more weight...as of right now I am at 302 and 5'2. My body is hurting all over due to my weight and I feel like I am falling apart.

What you're going through is very normal.  I went through it as well.  What you have to remember is eventually you will be able to eat all those things again; however, think of the reasons you are wanting to have surgery in the first place.  Is one of those reasons health?  The food you're eating is not more important than your health. 

Also something to keep in mind is any weight you gain beyond this is going to give you that much more to lose AND it's going to put more of a strain on your body.  It's hard to get past but you can do it!! 

We've all been there and it is not something that can't be overcome.  You are stronger than the desire.  Practicing the mental part of this journey now might help you later as well.

Hang in there.

I went through the "last supper syndrome" which lasted about a month before i began my liquid diet pre op.

Just think though, that if your surgeon is asking you to lose weight before surgery, you don't want to do too much damage.
