First plateau at 9 months post op

I’ve never really had a major plateau after my vsg other than a few days or so with no weight loss. I’m at 9 and half months post op and have noticed I haven’t lost any weight these past 3 weeks. I’m only a few pounds away from my goal and I’m wondering will I still lose weight or is this it?

I think you can lose as much weight as you choose to in principle - though it will be progressively more difficult. As ever, decreasing calories in, increasing calories out will do it.

The loss slows to an absolute crawl the closer you get to your bodies happy weight. I wouldn’t give up though just yet.
