I'm in process for lap band surgery. A few more months to wait for insurance clearance. But I really worry about how I'm going to cope without food for comfort. It's been my go-to reliever for almost my entire life. And please don't tell me to go for a walk or gym. That may work for some but not me. What I need are ideas for night time after dinner sitting on couch and my mind starts going. I've been going through real life stress right now w/ career stuff etc. and I can't figure out a way to avoid food and wine. But I'm very committed to changing. Any ideas would be appreciated.
