Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Bariatric Surgery Online Class

with Michelle May, M.D.

Everyone agrees that bariatric surgery is a tool – not a quick fix. If you have had (or are considering) gastric bypass, the band, or the sleeve, Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Bariatric Surgery is designed to prevent, identify, and resolve the maladaptive eating habits and emotional eating issues that commonly lead to problems after bariatric surgery, including:

  • Eating too quickly, taking large bites, or not chewing thoroughly
  • Eating mindlessly while distracted, leading to over-consumption
  • Not savoring food and therefore having difficulty feeling satisfied with small volumes of food
  • Eating too much, leading to discomfort, vomiting and/or distention of the pouch
  • Grazing throughout the day and/or eating “slider” foods and high-calorie soft foods and liquids
  • Struggling with emotional eating
  • Not consuming enough protein or nutrient-rich foods
  • Feeling guilty, deprived, or left-out in social situations
  • Struggling to establish consistent, joyful physical activity
  • Difficulty adjusting to life after bariatric surgery

What others have said about this class…

Dr. May is the Mindful Eating Whisperer! I wasn’t sold on this when I started, but I was intrigued, and desperate to see if after over 40 years of dieting, starvation, eating disorders and bariatric surgery, and regain, if I could even remotely have a chance at having a normal relationship with food. At the end, my answer is yes.

This class needs to be taught in all bariatric centers. I am grateful and thankful to have found this now in my life. But man, if I had taken this class 20 years ago!
