what do I do now? plateaus are lasting months!!!

I lost great the first 5 months after surgery, then in month 5, I hit a plateau that lasted till month 9, lost 10 lbs, then in month 9 to now (month 12) I am at another plateau. I cannot figure out what works for me, upping protein, exercise, water, or upping carbs, changing the mix, getting in 500 cal vs getting in 1000-1200 cal, I cannot figure out what works for me to consistently lose, it is like my body has just quit. I don't know what to do now, I am a year postop and afraid it is over for me...I still have 50 lbs to lose. I am very very frustrated. My surgeon just says, be patient, you will lose,, but when???? signed Deb in Ohio
