What is a honeymoon period?

[Ready4aNewLife 1]

I read all of you talking about a honeymoon period after surgery. What is that referring to?

that is in the beginning when your' losing like crazy and are buying new clothes and loving everything about the sleeve there is to love. people are noticing your loss and you actually get looked at. . things are absolutely wonderful . . then you hit close to or your goal and it's like no one cares anymore, they are used to seeing you as a thin person. . clothes are clothes and you like have a closet full now and don't need anything more. . . life goes on and so do you, it's just like before, only your thinner.

Does this help abit?

The first 6 months is generally regarded as the honeymoon period. Like thinoneday said, the weight is flying off like crazy. Generally, you are going to lose the most weight in the first 6 months and then it slows down.

Yep it's when you have a lot of restriction in your tummy and the weight loss is fast.

"Honeymoon period" refers to the time right after surgery when you lose with very little effort. As time goes on you have to work your sleeve a bit more to continue losing. Of course everyone is different so the "honeymoon period" can be longer or shorter for different people.

Very nicely said! It explained this phase perfectly and I love the "life goes on and so do you, only thinner!"
