Summary

This study tests an 8-week mindfulness program (MB-EAT) for people who had bariatric surgery at least six months ago and struggle with eating guidelines. About 85 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the mindfulness training, the other does not. Researchers will track weight, BMI, mental health, and digestive health for up to a year to see if mindfulness helps maintain weight loss and improve well-being.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness Based Eating and Awareness Training (MB-EAT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical way for bariatric surgery patients to maintain weight loss and improve their mental and digestive health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage behavioral study with no blinding or placebo control, so results may be limited or not apply to everyone. Benefits may be modest.
