Considering a surgical bariatric procedure? Then you must read Mind Prep. The before and after pictures of people on social media who have had bariatric surgery, while exhilarating, depict only the physical aspects related to having bariatric surgery.

Dr. Stapleton’s work as a bariatric psychologist is directed at helping people recognize the equally important emotional issues related to weight struggles. In Mind Prep, she helps educate and prepare people for making a lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle by highlighting potential problem areas including a return to unhealthy habits and the tendency to engage in negative self-talk. Answer thought-provoking questions throughout Mind Prep and better prepare yourself for the emotional challenges you may experience following your surgical bariatric procedure!

If you know that food/weight have caused problems in your life and you have wanted to get and keep your extra weight off, but cannot seem to do so...you may be a food addict. Have you lost weight with the aid of bariatric surgery, a medically supervised weight loss program, or fad diet, but ended up regaining at least all that you lost? Food addiction may be a reason!

Food addiction is often undiagnosed and can sabotage even the best efforts to lose weight and keep it off. Food addiction is a disease separate from the disease of obesity. If food addiction is present and untreated, it will overtake efforts to treat the obesity, resulting in ongoing medical comorbidities, hopelessness, and frustration.

Learn about how food addiction may be interfering with your weight loss efforts. Discover how to treat the addiction so that weight loss efforts are successful. Learn to live healthier, happier, fuller lives! Your Health. Your Responsibility. This Day. Every Day.

Eat it Up! is the first book incorporating a whole person, mind/body/spirit approach to prevent weight regain in the months and years following weight loss surgery. Each chapter is devoted to a “Center of Balance,” explaining obesity’s negative impact on every aspect of a person’s life. Eat It Up! offers skills and strategies to overcome difficulties following weight loss surgery, resulting in the reward of lifelong happiness and healthy living, free from weight regain.

Written with humor, compassion and a “firm and fair” approach, Eat it Up! is a must-have for the millions who are obese or overweight. Regaining weight in the months and years following bariatric surgery is a devastating reality — one that can be prevented.
