The Weight Loss Surgery Coping Companion: A Practical Guide for Coping with Post-Surgery Emotions

In The Weight Loss Surgery Coping Companion, Dr. Tanie Kabala addresses the emotional side of weight loss surgery.  In this self-help book, she assists weight loss surgery patients- many of whom have a long history of using overeating as a coping mechanism- in identifying healthy, new strategies for coping with challenging feelings and emotional eating.  With insight and sensitivity, Dr. Kabala leads readers through exercises that help them develop strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, identity confusion, and the compulsion to overeat- feelings common to the post-surgery period.  Recognizing that emotional eating often leads to re-gain after surgery, Dr. Kabala provides two detailed, mindfulness-based strategies for overcoming emotional eating, The Nourish Technique and the COPE Technique.  Packed with quotes from actual patients, this book allows readers to recognize that their challenges are shared by many members of the weight loss surgery community.  Readers walk away with a personalized coping guide that can be used not only during the post-surgery period, but also for a lifetime.
