Klapsas M, Hindle A. Patients' Pre and Post-Bariatric Surgery Experience of Dieting Behaviours: Implications for Early Intervention. Obes Surg 2023; 33:2702-2710. [PMID: 37468701 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06689-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery works, in part, by surgically changing signals of hunger and satiety to achieve weight loss. Not all patients experience optimal outcomes. One potential explanation is that post-surgery dieting may subvert the ability to identify physiological cues of hunger and fullness. Dieting behaviours (e.g. restriction/cognitive restraint) are correlated with disordered eating, and disordered eating implicated in poor outcomes. This study examines the experience of dieting after bariatric surgery. METHOD Seventeen adult participants who had undertaken bariatric surgery and residing in Australia participated in semi-structured interviews. Surgeries occurred in 2021 (n = 8), 2020 (n = 4), 2019 (n = 2), and one participant each had surgery in 2014, 2009, and 2004. Thematic analysis elicited themes related to post-operative dieting. RESULTS All participants reported chronic pre-surgery dieting. Lifestyle change was the overarching post-surgical theme comprising (i) flexibility (e.g. allowing food, intuitive eating), and (ii) control, comprising surgery control (e.g. set portions, surgery instilled control) and dieting control (e.g. discipline, restriction/restraint). Descriptions of lifestyle change often mirrored pre-surgery descriptions of dieting. CONCLUSION Post-surgery lifestyle change appears to encompass a tension between flexible/adaptive approaches to eating and the need to maintain control. Control may emerge as practices that mirror pre-surgery dieting with the potential to interfere with adaptive eating behaviours or promote disordered eating. Dieting behaviours may be a precursor to the development of disordered eating. Health care practitioners should regularly assess dieting behaviour post-surgery to enable early intervention where warranted. Future research should consider how post-surgery re-emerging dieting may be identified and measured to aid in intervention.

Associations of changes in physical activity and sedentary time with weight recurrence after bariatric surgery: a 5-year prospective study. Int J Obes (Lond) 2023; 47:463-470. [PMID: 36828898 PMCID: PMC9951836 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-023-01284-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing physical activity and limiting sedentary time may minimize weight recurrence after bariatric surgery. However, few studies have evaluated potential associations of objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary time with post-surgical weight recurrence over time. AIMS To evaluate associations of change in physical activity and sedentary time with weight recurrence after bariatric surgery. METHODS Participants from the Oslo Bariatric Surgery Study, a prospective cohort study, wore an ActiGraph monitor for seven days at 1- and 5 years after surgery to assess daily physical activity and sedentary time. Participants' weight was measured at in-person clinic visits. Chi-square Test and Paired-samples T-test evaluated group differences and change over time, while Pearson's Correlation, multiple logistic and linear regression investigated associations between variables. RESULTS Five years after surgery 79 participants (70.5% response rate, 81% female) (mean (sd) age: 54.0 (±9.3), BMI: 32.1 (±4.7)) had valid monitor data. Participants increased their sedentary time (71.4 minutes/day (95% CI: 54.2-88.6, p = <0.001)) and reduced daily steps (-1411.1 (95% CI: 737.8-208.4), p = <0.001), light physical activity (-54.1 min/day (95% CI: 40.9-67.2, p = <0.001)), and total physical activity (-48.2 (95% CI: 34.6-63.3), p = <0.001) from 1- to 5 years after surgery. No change was found for moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. No associations were found between changes in steps, physical activity or sedentary time and weight recurrence. CONCLUSION Participants increased sedentary time and decreased light- and total physical activity between 1- and 5 years post-surgery. Overall, changes in physical activity and sedentary time were not associated with weight recurrence. Interventions to help patients increase physical activity and limit sedentary time after bariatric surgery are needed.

Adherence of Obese Patients from Poland and Germany and Its Impact on the Effectiveness of Morbid Obesity Treatment. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14183880. [PMID: 36145256 PMCID: PMC9505872 DOI: 10.3390/nu14183880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate and compare the adherence of patients treated for morbid obesity living in Poland and Germany. Methods: A cross-sectional international multicenter survey design was adopted. The study involved 564 adult subjects treated for morbid obesity at selected healthcare facilities in Germany (210 participants) and Poland (354 participants). A validated, custom-made questionnaire based on the literature related to this issue was used. Results: The degree of adherence was higher, but not statistically significant, among Polish patients (83.82% vs. 78.33%, p = 0.26140). Patient adherence was associated with gender, age, level of education, duration of obesity, number of health professionals involved in obesity treatment, and type of obesity treatment (p < 0.05). A positive correlation was observed in the case of age, level of education, and a growing number of health professionals involved in obesity treatment, whereas a negative correlation was observed in the case of the duration of obesity. Patients who underwent bariatric surgery significantly more often followed medical recommendations regarding lifestyle changes, compared to obese participants treated only conservatively. Adherence in the field of obesity treatment significantly increases the percentage of total weight loss and excess weight loss due to applied obesity treatment among both Polish and German groups (p < 0.001). Both the percentage of total weight loss and that of excess weight loss were significantly higher in the group of adherent patients compared to the nonadherent patients (p < 0.00001). The levels of perceived anxiety, stress, and depression were significantly higher in nonadherent patients in both countries. Conclusions: These findings confirm the role of adherence in the effective and satisfactory treatment of morbid obesity. There is a great need to improve patient adherence to overcome the consequences of the obesity pandemic.

Comparing Bariatric Surgery Patients Who Desire, Have Undergone, or Have No Desire for Body Contouring Surgery: a 5-Year Prospective Study of Body Image and Mental Health. Obes Surg 2022; 32:2952-2959. [PMID: 35739416 PMCID: PMC9392705 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06117-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Purpose After bariatric surgery, body contouring surgery (BCS) is thought to improve body image, weight loss, and mental health. Many patients desire but do not undergo BCS after bariatric surgery. This patient subset has rarely been studied. The present study compares bariatric surgery patients that, at 5 years after surgery, desires, have undergone or have no desire for BCS regarding pre- and post-surgery body image and mental health, including within-group changes over time. Materials and Methods Data were collected from participants (N = 216) pre-bariatric surgery and at 1- and 5-year post-surgery. Health care providers measured body mass index (BMI). All other data were collected via self-report (questionnaires). Results At 5-year post-surgery, 30.6% had undergone BCS, 17.1% did not desire it, and 52.3% desired BCS. Patients who subsequently desired BCS scored lower on body satisfaction pre-surgery than the other groups. They also reported less resilience pre-surgery and more depressive symptoms at all times compared to participants with BCS. For five-year post-surgery, patients who desired BCS had lower body satisfaction levels than patients with BCS and were more bothered with excess skin relative to the two other groups. Body satisfaction improved in all three groups from baseline to five years and in most patients with BCS. Mental health improved only in patients with BCS. Conclusion This study emphasizes the relevance of identifying participants who desire but have not undergone BCS. The study suggests that BCS is associated with improved body image and mental health.

Abstract
Background: Although emotional eating is associated with obesity in women, psychological correlates of their treatment-based weight-reduction behaviors are unclear. Aim: To test new model-based propositions of effects of mood on self-regulating physical activity and eating to inform interventions. Methods: Women in community-based obesity treatments with emphases on either self-regulation (n = 56) or weight-management education (n = 54) were assessed on psychological and behavioral variables over 12 months. Results: Emotional eating scores were significantly higher than general samples. Overall significant improvements were found in physical activity- and eating-related self-regulation, mood, physical activity, and sweets consumption. Improvements were more pronounced in the self-regulation-emphasis group. Mood significantly moderated self-regulation-behavior change relationships. Increased physical activity predicted improved mood. Discussion: Findings (a) suggested propensities for emotional eating in women with obesity seeking behavioral treatment, (b) clarified treatment effects and the effect of mood in the self-regulation of physical activity and eating behaviors, and (c) supported model-based treatment targets.

Psychological characteristics of patients seeking bariatric treatment versus those seeking medical treatment for obesity: is bariatric surgery a last best hope? Eat Weight Disord 2021; 26:949-961.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery (BS) is considered the most effective treatment for severe obesity. Nevertheless, long-term studies have identified some concerning issues, such as increased postoperative rates of suicide and substance use disorders. Some investigators have postulated that these postoperative issues might result from differences in psychological characteristics between patients with obesity seeking BS and those seeking non-surgical (medical) care. The aim of this study was to explore the psychological differences between patients seeking BS and those seeking non-surgical care. METHODS 151 patients seeking BS (BS group) and 95 patients seeking medical care (non-surgery group) completed questionnaires measuring depression, anxiety, self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, hopelessness and weight-loss expectations (WLE). RESULTS There were no differences between the BS and non-surgery groups in depression, anxiety or self-esteem. Body dissatisfaction and WLE were greater in the BS group than in the non-surgery group. Contrary to our hypothesis, the non-surgery group showed higher levels of hopelessness than the BS group. Correlation analyses revealed very similar associations between psychological characteristics for both groups. Hierarchical regression and moderation analyses identified self-esteem as the factor most predictive of hopelessness in both groups. CONCLUSIONS We found few differences in psychological characteristics between groups. The lower level of hopelessness in the BS group might be seen as a form of protection leading up to surgery but may result from the patient's view of BS as their "last best hope". Further studies are needed to understand the evolution of these psychological characteristics after surgery and their possible effects on postoperative outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, case-control analytic studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multidisciplinary obesity services at university hospitals usually treat patients with more complex and severe obesity. In addition, patients with Class 3 obesity, in particular, have different attitudes regarding the choices of therapy. METHODS This explorative study investigated the effect of patient attitudes towards bariatric surgery on body weight change (primary outcome) and psychological improvement (secondary outcomes: quality of life, depression, anxiety, and eating behaviour) in a 6-month moderate behavioural weight loss (BWL) programme in a university outpatient setting. RESULTS 297 patients with mostly Class 3 obesity participated in the programme. The patients did not yet have any indications for bariatric surgery. Of the participants, 37% had a positive attitude towards bariatric surgery (POS), whereas 38% had a negative attitude (NEG). The drop-out rate was 8%. NEG participants lost significantly more body weight than the POS participants (intention-to-treat population: 4.5 [SD: 6.3] kg versus 0.4 [SD: 5.8] kg; p < 0.001). In both subgroups, anxiety, depression, the mental score for quality of life, and eating behaviour improved. CONCLUSION A BWL treatment in a clinical setting identified 2 distinct groups with different attitudes towards bariatric surgery that were associated with different body weight change outcomes. These groups may require differently targeted programmes to achieve the best body weight loss results.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2020; 16:626-632. [PMID: 32007433 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2019.12.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 12/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Attention to and interpretation of symptoms are influenced by psychologic and contextual factors. Preoperative anxiety, and to some extent depression, has been found to predict the perceived impact of somatic symptoms 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Postoperative changes in negative affect may possibly both influence and be influenced by the perception of somatic symptoms. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore whether preoperative anxiety and depressive symptoms correlated with perceived impact of somatic symptoms 3 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Second, we aimed to examine the 3-year trajectory of depressive and anxiety symptoms, and their interaction with perceived somatic symptoms postoperatively. SETTING University hospital. METHODS Presurgery, 1-, and 3-year postsurgery data were collected from 169 participants (62.4% follow-up). Anxiety and depressive symptoms were assessed at all time points. The participants reported the degree of perceived impact of various somatic symptoms 1 and 3 years after surgery. A cross-lagged, autoregressive regression analysis was employed to examine the mutual interaction of trajectories over the follow-up period. RESULTS Fatigue (30.8%) and dumping (23.7%) were common high-impact symptoms 3 years postoperatively. Higher baseline anxiety was associated with higher impact of fatigue, pain, and diarrhea, while depressive mood was related to higher impact of diarrhea at 3-year follow-up. Higher anxiety/depression symptoms were bidirectionally related to higher perceived total symptom impact at both 1 and 3 years postoperatively, controlling for percent total weight loss. Higher perceived impact of somatic symptom burden at 1 year after surgery predicted a significant increase in depressive symptoms the next 2 years. CONCLUSION Baseline anxiety was associated with higher perceived impact of several somatic symptoms 3 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Higher total symptom burden (pain, fatigue, dumping, diarrhea, and vomiting) at 1 year after surgery predicted increase in depression over the next 2 years. The results underscore the importance of managing somatic symptoms after surgery to prevent patients' distress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individual differences in executive function may influence eating behavior, weight loss (WL), and WL maintenance in obesity treatment. Executive function, which designates top-down cognitive control processes, has been related to eating behaviors which may impact weight, and has been found to be predictive of WL in both behavioral WL programs and after bariatric surgery. Currently, we lack knowledge on the role of executive function in the period before bariatric surgery. If executive function impacts eating behavior and WL in the preoperative period, it may be a target for clinical attention in this stage. OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine the relationship between objective performance-based measures of executive function, eating patterns, and WL in the preoperative period. METHOD Baseline data in an ongoing observational longitudinal study of bariatric surgery patients were used. Eighty patients completed neuropsychological testing and self-report questionnaires 4 weeks prior to surgery. RESULTS We found that working memory predicted WL before surgery and inhibitory control predicted adherence to dietary recommendations. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that executive function may play a role in short-term WL and dietary adherence prior to surgery, suggesting that executive function in the preoperative period deserves an extended research focus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients do not meet the recommended level of physical activity after bariatric surgery, and psychological factors underlying postoperative physical activity remain poorly understood. This study aimed at identifying self-regulatory predictors of physical activity after bariatric surgery. METHODS Questionnaire data including self-regulation variables and the short-version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were obtained in a prospective cohort of 230 patients 1 year after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The study sample consisted of participants consenting to wear an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer for seven consecutive days, 18-24 months after surgery (n = 120). RESULTS A total of 112 participants with complete self-report data provided valid accelerometer data. Mean age was 46.8 years (SD = 9.3), and 81.3% was women. Preoperative and postoperative BMI was 44.8 ± 5.5 and 30.6 ± 5.0 kg/m2, respectively. Total weight loss was 28.9% (SD = 7.5). By objective measures, 17.9% of the participants met the recommended level of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity of physical activity of ≥150 min/week, whereas 80.2% met the recommended level according to self-reported measures. Being single, higher education level, and greater self-regulation predicted objective physical activity in multivariate regression analysis. Greater self-regulation also predicted self-reported physical activity. Weight loss 1 year after surgery was not associated with self-reported or objectively measured physical activity. CONCLUSIONS Despite large differences between accelerometer-based and subjective estimates of physical activity, the associations of self-regulatory factors and weight loss with postoperative physical activity did not vary depending on mode of measurement. Self-regulation predicted both objective and self-reported physical activity. Targeting patients' self-regulatory ability may enhance physical activity after gastric bypass.

Abstract
Following lifestyle intervention programs based on dietary restriction and habitual physical activity, weight loss, however large, is reported to peak within six months. Despite maintenance protocols, only few cases continue to lose weight thereafter. The majority of cases regain weight and adherence to lifestyle changes are fostered by long-term contact with a supportive team. In general, surgical procedures are reported to produce much larger weight loss and to impact more favorably on long-term weight loss maintenance. Areas covered: We performed a PubMed search on lifestyle modification studies, focusing on the role of behavior programs for the long-term management of obesity in comparison with surgical procedures. Behaviorally-achieved weight loss outcomes can be improved by integrating standard behavior therapy with self-regulation cognitive skills, motivational interviewing and/or phone/internet-based recall systems. Expert commentary: Clinically-important long-term weight loss is achievable by behavior therapy in a small proportion of subjects with obesity, however severe, through personalized programs associating lifestyle modification interventions, with procedures aimed at developing commitment and responsibility skills. A new area of research is the integration of cognitive-behavior therapy with bariatric (metabolic) surgery, either pre- or post-operatively, to exploit long-term adherence to healthy diet and habitual physical activity.
