Before surgery, I used food to cope. Now that's impossible.

I am finding nowadays that I am "searching" for something else to help me cope. I sometimes am successful using exercise, but that doesn't always do the trick. I feel like, in some ways, I have lost my best friend ... I know this surgery was the best thing in the world for me, but now I feel a little lost. Anybody have suggestions regarding alternate coping mechanisms once someone has sworn off overeating? I don't want to take up smoking, drinking, drugs, etc. I am looking for healthy ideas for increasing my quality of life and ability to deal.
