I am just about 16 months post op and have hit a 6 week plateau, is this normal?

I am just about 16 months post op and this is now my 6th week of no weight loss. I have lost a little bit inch wise, but I am starting to get panicky. Is my body starting to level off? I have lost 144lbs in 16 months and 69 inches, but I still would like to lose another 30 (60 according to my surgeon).<p> I haven't changed much except that I am a tax accountant and my 4 months of tax season overtime started so I am working about 60 hours a week. That means my 1 hour a day exercise routine had to be shortened to 30 minutes a day. I am guessing that is a big factor.<p> I was just looking for some input from other long-term post op's. My surgeon said I would stop losing at about 24 months, so I still have 8 months left and I guess thats why I am getting upset. I really want to lose those last 30 pounds, but I don't want to starve myself to do it. Right now I track my intake and I get in 75-100 grams of protein a day, about 1200-1500 calaries depending if I eat carbs, and at least 80 oz. of water.
