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!

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?
