Summary

This randomized controlled trial is designed to test the feasibility and efficacy of a novel 10-week mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on weight maintenance as well as behavioral and psychosocial outcomes in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.

Primary hypothesis:

Bariatric patients who have stopped losing weight (\< 5 lbs weight loss in past month) 1-5 years post-surgery will be willing to participate in this 10-week intervention. The investigators expect a high adherence rate (\>70%) and no issues with meeting recruitment goals.

Secondary hypotheses:

Patients assigned to the MBI will show greater improvement in a) weight control (defined by differences in body weight between baseline and follow-up); b) eating behaviors (binge eating, emotional eating); and c) psychosocial measures (quality of life, depression, perceived stress, eating self-efficacy, coping ability) than a standard lifestyle intervention (1 hr lifestyle counseling).

Patients assigned to the MBI intervention will show greater improvement in biomarkers of stress and inflammation \[salivary cortisol, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)\] as compared with a standard lifestyle intervention.

Food-related attentional bias as measured by the food-related Stroop task will be differentially affected among patients assigned to the MBI as compared with the intensive lifestyle intervention and standard lifestyle intervention.
