Burn more calories: Unfortunately, it's a simple math equation. You must burn more calories than you consume. My suggestion is to keep a strict calorie count (several good apps can help) to see where your calories are coming from. Count everything you take in. Reduce what you can, then burn more by walking farther, taking stairs instead of elevators, exercising 30 mins more each day. You can do it!

Easy part over: For about a year after surgery the surgery itself has done the work and weight loss has been relatively easy. From here on out unfortunately, any further weight loss is almost all up to you throught calorie restriction and exercise. Calories out has to be more than calories in..

Weight loss surgery: Weight loss surgery is a very effective tool in helping patients achieve their weight loss goal. There are different surgical techniques and the rate of weight loss depends on a variety of patient factors including height, weight, age, race, diet and exercise habits. When a patient hits a plateau, it is important to review your diet and exercise habits and determine how you are using the tool.
