I have heard about the "honeymoon" period after which rapid weight loss tapers off

I have heard that this period is 6-12 months and after that weight loss is still possible but that never again will WLS patients be able to lose like they did during the first few months after surgery (honeymoon period?. My surgeon said that WLS patients will always have an advantage over normal stomach people when it comes to weight loss but that the honeymoon theory is correct. Any body know why the body adjusts or why the ability to lose weight diminishes? Anyone out there have an experience to support or challenge this theory?
