Ok I just hit the 1 year mark and would like to lose 25 more pounds.  Is it going to be impossible.  I have hit a PLATEAU that is going on 2 months.  My question is is it over?  How hard is it going to be to lose the rest.  Does anyone lose after you hit the year mark?

Wendy, I hit the 1 year mark and still had over 30 lbs to lose. 

I'm now just over 2 years out and only have 2 lbs. remaining.   My doctor was thrilled to see the amount of weight lost during my 2nd year as it was so good.  Now, don't take me wrong; it's hard work and requires you to work the tool, but yes, you can continue to lose weight.  
Ultimately, I'd like to lose another 10-15 additional lbs. so we'll see what happens.  As of now, I'm still dropping a combination of lbs and inches during any given month.  More inches than lbs these days, but a loss is a loss!

It took me almost 6 months to lose the last 20 pounds.  I reached my goal at 14 months.  So, no it's not over and yes a 2 month plateau is not unusual.  It can be done.  Just continue on your plan and make sure you include some exercise.  You'll get there.

I am 15 months out and I have lost about 10-11 pounds since my 11th month, so no it's not over if you keep focusing on eating healthy and getting all your protein in.  It is *NOT* as easy as the first 9 months after WLS, though!  But with my tool I have to say it is easier than dieting pre-op.
