We propose a pilot 12-week trial of a 10-hour time restricted eating intervention among post-bariatric surgery patients. The intervention would consist of weekly sessions for 4 weeks, followed by one session every two weeks through 12 weeks, with weight change as the primary outcome. We will provide behavioral weight loss education to the patients and monitor how many calories they are taking in once per week.
Bariatric surgery patients have a variable course of weight loss, maintenance and regain. Time restricted eating is an approach that may help individuals lose weight and improve metabolic functioning.
