Over the past 5 years, interest in weight-loss surgery has increased in tandem with the growing obesity epidemic in both Western and developing countries. In particular, scholars have documented the health promoting aspects of weight-loss surgery. Nevertheless, few researchers have explored the side effects, most prominently "dumping," that frequently accompany weight-loss surgery. Building on the one previous qualitative study of dumping, I focused my research for this article on the challenges associated with limiting food intake. Based on interviews with 22 Norwegian women, all of whom had undergone the gastric-bypass procedure, I concluded that the women who had a history of struggling with overeating found adjusting their food intake after the surgery particularly challenging. Appropriate personalized support for individuals struggling to establish new eating habits after the surgery requires a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with adjusting food intake. In this context, the findings of this article should be of interest to an international audience
