How will I handle not being able to binge?

I am really worried about the emotional effects of my NOT being able to binge after my surgery. I know that my body will not allow me to binge but what will that do to my mind? How will I handle this? I am an emotional eater and when I'm in certain moods, I crave very specific things...not junk but real restaurant foods. And it's not ever the food itself because I know that I will eventually be able to eat most things again (except sugary stuff) in moderation...but there's just something about eating 'the whole thing' that I am addicted to. I'm going to my psych evaluation on 6/5 and I'm afraid to discuss this since my surgeon's office told me that there have been instances of surgeries being cancelled due to poor evaluations. I know I want to do this but this is a real concern for me. Any ideas or guidance?
