| book description |

Bariatric, or weight loss, surgery brings with it profound changes to physical health, confidence, self-esteem, assertiveness and relationships, and the process of adjustment after surgery is tremendously challenging. You will need support, not just for the transitions made during the early stages of recovery (from liquid to solid food, for example), but also for the psychological recovery - and that is the role of this book. Coping with Bariatric Surgery offers support for the obstacles you might encounter on your journey towards a new, physically and emotionally different self. It gives practical insight into what to expect in the early days, and long-term strategies for the often-overwhelming emotions that people may experience, with therapeutic approaches that promote compassion, self-care and that will - ultimately - help the reader to avoid the destructive behaviour patterns that can sabotage a healthier lifestyle. Above all, although your weight loss surgery - and its outcome - is a hugely positive step, you will need time and space to process what has happened, and this book will allow you to cultivate these and manage your first tentative steps into a new, healthy future.
