Rationale: It has been reported that decreased hunger and changes in food preference also affect eating behaviours after sleeve gastrectomy (SG). This study aims to evaluate the effects of SG on eating behaviors.

Methods: The study included 30 female subjects aged 20-50 years with a Body Mass Index ≥35 kg/m² who underwent SG. Preoperative and postoperative 3-month eating behaviours were evaluated with the Three-Factor Eating Scale (TFEQ-Tr21). The scale consists of three sub-factors including uncontrolled eating, cognitive restraint and emotional eating, and each factor is scored between 0-100. A high score indicates a high level of related eating behaviour. The data were analysed with SPSS.

Results: Mean body weight decreased significantly after SG (preop: 107.00±17.85 kg; postop: 85.96±16.98 kg) (p<0.001). Uncontrolled eating score decreased from 60.13±21.56 in the preoperative period to 17.10±16.52 in the postoperative period and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Emotional eating score also showed a significant decrease from 68.27±27.7 preoperatively to 16.17±24.57 postoperatively (p<0.001). Conversely, cognitive restraint scores increased from 33.17±22.20 to 69.90±21.32 postoperatively (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) significantly improved eating behaviors at 3 months. Uncontrolled and emotional eating decreased, while cognitive restraint increased. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects.
