Psychological Treatment After Bariatric Surgery

Losing weight is not an easy task. Even if you decide to resort to bariatric surgery, will go a long way to reach your ideal weight and must fight some enemies. Negative thoughts that we have incorporated from childhood to adulthood are the main obstacles that we face. Some surgeries such as gastric bypass and gastric banding reduces the volume of the stomach and changes in hormones that regulate satiety and appetite, others such as the gastric balloon occupy much of the stomach, limiting its capacity and provide satiety. They all help to control appetite, forcing him to eat less. But still, some negative thoughts can occur automatically and lead to bad decisions. You should be aware and learn to control them.

For years we have been harboring feelings and thoughts that do not change suddenly. So it may happen that at a problematic situation, a feeling undesirable, a conflict or a fight, you appeal, without even noticing it, to use food for comfort. When you realize you've made a mistake may have already eaten that dish is prohibited or indigestion by overeating. When the episode ends, the person feels guilty and anxious, thinks he ruined everything and can not understand why they lose control in this way. Generally when this occurs is not related to the will but we have not changed some bad habits and the brain continues to act as he did regularly. An order is sent at high speed, without the person being aware of it. When reacting, you may already have purchased or ingested foods that can not or should not eat. If you want to avoid these unpleasant thoughts and actions you must take ownership of recognizing which are the conflicting thoughts and in which situations of stress or anger lead him to break the rules. Once you have found these weaknesses, you must make plans to combat them effectively.

There is always time to eat whatever we like, those are not excuses to deviate from our goal. If your treatment takes a positive, thinking about everything and thinks he will win with a growing awareness that a craving urges him to leave, does not have to fall into these wells. You can get by with his will and the help of their doctors. Regards, Dr. Hector Bernal-obesidad.com www.adios
