Any post-ops having problems bingeing or eating for emotional reasons?

The 25 year coping mechanism of food is now not an option as a post-op. I want to eat all of time. I am not coping with these emotional changes well at all. I don't sleep at night and I think it is from anxiety from my little binges. I am eating about 1000-1200 calories a day and I have stopped losing weight. I am 7 weeks post-op. I am in therapy for the emotional issues. I also quit smoking for the surgery,and if it is a choice between smoking and bingeing, I am about to light a 10 foot long cigarette.Has anyone else been through this ? I need all the help I can get. And please,no snap judgements. I abuse myself enough and I don't need it from anyone else too.
