The honeymoom phase ended for me around the 1 year mark. I did not stop losing weight, but I had to be more vigilant about the things I was eating and the amounts. The Sleeve does not have an on/off switch :P and you can continue to use it as a tool to lose weight as long as you would like. After a year, I found myslef slipping into old habits, like eating out of boredom or grazing throughout the day. Frankensleeve still works, it was me that had gotten off track.

But take as much advantage of the Honeymood period as possible. This will be the time when it's the easiest to lose weight and get into good eating habits. Your new Sleeve will still have the most restriction (before it is completely healded and the swelling has gone down) and your metablism won't have had a chance to adjust to the new lower caloric intake.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
