Thank you all. It's good to know I'm not alone!

Hi I am pre-op and have been writing down when and what I eat. I've noticed that I am an emotional eater. I have high levels of stress and anxiety and I turn to food every single time. What have some of you done to handle the stress eating /anxiety post op? What can I do in preparation? I'm starting an exercise routine which seems to help a little bit. Any advice or anecdotes of what life is like for stress eaters post op would be great. thanks!

I have to lose weight - I think its 12% total body weight as part of the 6 months observation period for my insurance. finding it hard!
