Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Mindfulness Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) for patients who have had bariatric surgery on their weight and mental and physical health compared to patients who do not do this group. All participants will complete questionnaires evaluating eating and mental health before and after the group and 6 and 12 months later. They will have blood pressure readings at these times and complete a questionnaire about their digestive health. Our hypothesis is that participants will maintain their weight loss after bariatric surgery and have improvements in the other outcomes.
Detailed Description:
MB-EAT may be helpful for reducing emotional eating, overeating and grazing, eating patterns that can lead to weight gain after bariatric surgery. Participants will receive MB-EAT 6 months or more following bariatric surgery. They will be randomly assigned to receive MB-EAT right away or 8 weeks later. Individuals in the group starting in 8 weeks will serve as a waitlist control group.The primary outcome measures will be changes in self-reported eating problems, depression, anxiety, and mindfulness. There will be a follow-up at 6 months and 12 months to establish stability of symptoms post-intervention. Participants will receive one introductory information session about the MB-EAT program, as well as 8 MB-EAT scheduled consecutively over eight weeks. Each session is approximately two hours in length. During MB-EAT, participants will practice mindfulness to help improve their decision making abilities about when and how much to eat. Through MB-EAT, participants will learn to address mindless or out-of-control eating, which can lead to weight gain. Homework will include daily meditations and mindful eating exercises.
