THE END OF A LOVE AFFAIR: How do you cope with the loss of food after surgery?

LAST NIGHT MY HUSBAND AND I HAD AN ARGUMENT. WE BOTH HAD A VERY STRESSFUL DAY. IN THE END HE SAID : COME ON NIKKI AND I'LL TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE AND GET YOU A SNACK SO YOU'LL FEEL BETTER. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HIT ME AND I WAS SO MAD. ANYTIME I GET UPSET I REACH FOR FOOD. I'M PRE OP AND WONDERING HOW YOU COPE WITH THE EMOTIONAL PITFALLS AFTER SURGERY? HOW DO YOU GET THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE CLOSE TO YOU TO CHANGE THEIR THINKING? I ASKED MY HUSBAND WHAT HE THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN HE CAN NO LONGER USE FOOD TO END AN ARGUMENT OR MAKE ME FEEL BETTER WHEN I'M UPSET. I FEEL LIKE IT WILL BE SUCH A CHORE TO CHANGE MY OWN THINKING AND JUST WONDERED WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU?
