I had my surgery on February 7th 2018, I am almost 7 month post op and just curious about when this honeymoon phase will end. Does anybody remember what month they were in when their loss began too slow, stop, or become a lot harder.

It varies from person to person but my surgeon said he would expect me to lose the majority of my excess weight within the first year!

honeymoon period is considered the first 6 months, I believe. I will be 4 months in a week and I am noticing a little bit of a slow down. I lost 28 pounds my first month, than 15 pounds a month for two and three. Looks like it will only be 10 pounds for month four.

For me, at about 5 months post op it started to become a struggle. Sometimes I wonder if it has less to do with the time and more to do with how much weight you've lost thus far.

How tall are you and what was your starting weight

The amount you lose and how long you lose isn't time based, sure there are averages, but the factors that play into this are many.
How overweight you started at, why you were overweight in the first place, genetics, etc etc etc.

If my honeymoon period is winding down now I'm seriously going to punch a ho! I'm 60 pounds from goal and kicking my own butt and only 4.5 months! I've only lost like 5 pounds or less last month!
