Does the weight loss slow down or does it stay fairly steady the first year?

I am asking because today is my 6 month mark and this month particularly I have been losing slowly, or more slowly than the past 3-4 months. I haven't needed a fill since the first of January so that may be the problem. I still feel fairly tight (some things get stuck) but I am beginning to get hungry much sooner between meals than I have before. So I'm just curious if those of you who have been banded at least 6 months are still losing 8 lbs or so a month or have you slowed down? Is it unrealistic to expect to keep losing 8+ lbs a month like I have been all the way to the year mark? Thanks for your input!

on the 21 of march,was my 10th month,and im really having trouble loosing anything anything,it all began after 7th months,i keep going for fills almost once a month,and still cant loose nothing,i dont know whats wrong

I am 8 months post op and I am about at 1 lb per week, but I am happy, because it is still losing. I had a plateau at month 6 for about 6 weeks where I lost nothing at all. I am glad that is over with and when I start exercising again, I will probably begin to lose faster.

I was banded in April 08 and have lost 68 lbs. But I haven't lost anything since November 08. NOTHING.

I have no idea why. I just got a fill 3 weeks ago and can hardly eat at all, but still I can't lose.

Any suggestions?
