Can you change your habits after WLS if you are an emotional eater?

I have yet another question for everyone who has had WLS. I wanted to know that if you are an emotional eater before hand or if you are addicted to sugar and sweets will you be able to change your eating habits after the surgery without feeling deprived and depressed, especially if you suffer from dumping. I am totally willing to make the changes that comes with the surgery, but wanted to know how your body and mind reacts to the new way of eating. I notice now that if I don't have any form of sugar for a day or so, that I seem to go through withdrawl. It sounds crazy, but I get moody, and anxious and crave it badly. I know I am an extreme case, but wanted to know if anyone could relate and give me some answers. I have read that some people don't even want anything sweet after surgery, but I just can't see that happening for me. Although I will stick to the suggested diet, I am wondering how hard it will be.
