Turn Advanced Editing on.
1. Choose the page you want to edit. (I just choose the page my book is open to because we're going to apply this to all pages so it doesn't matter which one you actually "edit.")
2. Click and drag the gray photo box so that the bounding box can be seen.
3. Resize similarly to how you do in PS. I resize to 11.5, which allows a tiny bit of white around the edges of the page, but I find that's preferable to losing some of my LO.
4. Center the photo box.
5. Go to PAGE > Apply to other pages. Choose Layout and click APPLY. All of your pages will have both this full-size photo sizing applied to it.

I've never had the issue of having edges cut off like you are describing. But I do not put anything of importance close to the edge of the layout anyways. I learned to do that even before I started using SF. They do have guides you can use when doing your layout that shows their print area. I use those when doing the covers and spine before uploading.
I did have one book that was reprinted for free by SF because of how they cut the pages before assembling the book. About 1/16" of one page would be on the top of another one. That was their problem though not mine. The reprinted book was fine and I made no changes to the file before they did the reprinting.
