I have already had very slow weight loss, doctor even told me so.. I have to admit the past  few weeks ..I haven't done very well- carb eating. So I am getting back on track

How long does the honeymoon period end?? Do I have a change to still loose some more weight??

 

Worried that it has already been slow weight loss with the honeymoon period.\- what will it be afterwards...

I have already had my diet looked at from many NUT's and have had my blood work done.. I just wondering how much time I have.. as I still have about 70 pounds still to loose..

Is the 54 pound loss that your ticker shows in the 5 months? My doc told me to expect to lose an average of 2-3 pounds a week. You are well within that range. If you continue to lose at the same rate you should be at your goal in 6-7 months which is well within the 'honeymoon' period!!

 

Edited to add: You do, however, have to stick to your plan to have the losses continue!

I don't think it's over. I've read here that it can be anywhere from 12-18 months. My surgeon says it can last up to 24 months, but the easiest losing time is 6 months and that by a year out it slows down even more. You mention you've been eating carbs. I think that's the one thing I'd cut out. Stick to protein first, excersize, get your fluids in. You are still in the honeymoon phase. Take advantage of it.

Weight loss usually slows significantly at about 6 months out, and often again by 12 months out, but the body does not fully overcome the caloric malabsorption until about 18 months out.  So you still have LOTS of time to lose, but you DO need to stay on track.

Probably not.  Just follow your plan and exercise.  It will happen.

I'm almost 4 years out, and I STILL have some malabsorption (of fat)....and great restriction.

The honeymoon period usually lasts for about a year, but many people keep losing for 18 months or more.  Of course you have a chance to lose more weight.  You just need to stick to your program.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with current topic.  

I would like your laundry soap recipe and I can't find it after many

minutes of searching.

If you can would you please email it to me or repost it for those

of us that didn't have sense enough to copy it.

thank you
