Your Gastric Bypass Honeymoon
The term ‘gastric bypass honeymoon’ refers to the first 6 months after surgery when you can expect to experience significant weight loss with very few if any feelings of hunger. This is a time when you can sit back and not worry about working to lose weight because it will simply fall off automatically. However, the honeymoon does not last and, if you are not prepared for it, you will get a shock after the 6 month point when your weight loss slows considerably and you suddenly find that you have to start working at your diet and exercise program. The secret therefore is to enjoy your honeymoon period but also to take full advantage of it by getting yourself into a longer term diet and exercise routine so that your transition from the honeymoon is as smooth as possible.
