Emotional Eaters.....How are you coping?

I am 6 months out from my surgery and realizing that i miss my friend, my comforter....food! I know that I have always been an emotional eater and now that it is nearly impossible for me to turn to food for comfort, I am really strugging emotionally. My PCP has prescribed me and anti-depressant, even though Im not depressed. I have really bad anxiety and it helps with that. Has anyone else found that they are struggling with handling emotions post-surgery??? How are you coping?

I thought I was the only one with this issue. I was sleeved in February 2014, have moved to a new area where I do not know anyone. It has been a difficult adjustment, and all I want to do is eat. I just started walking several times a week, I am hoping that helps.......
