Abstract

Introduction: Individuals related to bariatric surgery may present inappropriate behavior and eating habits, especially in the long term, in addition to the presence of psychological disorders, which are factors that can favor weight relapse. Objective: To describe eating behavior and the perception of body self-image in women older than 24 months after bariatric surgery. Materials and methods: Eating behavior and perception of body self-image in women with more than 24 months of bariatric surgery were analyzed. Fifty women who was submitted bariatric surgery participated. A form was applied containing items about perception and body satisfaction, feelings of guilt when eating, grazing behavior, food purchases and preparation of meals. Results: There was a correlation between the habit of preparing meals and better perception and satisfaction with body self-image, greater participation in food purchases and better perception of the relationship with food. There was a correlation between relationship with food and positive perception and satisfaction with self-image, greater participation in food purchases and the absence of grazing behavior. There was also a direct correlation between grazing behavior and the use of medication and the feeling of guilt. Conclusion: Some eating patterns and dysfunctional feelings about body self-image and eating behavior still persist even after two years of bariatric surgery.
