Be grateful you didn't lose, for one thing.

It all depends on the facts and the court's finding in some circumstances. Sometimes you might be able to appeal, as if you won on issue 2 but the judge denied you the right to take issue 1 to the jury, or the judge gave faulty instructions that improperly limited the damages you were awarded. But if there were no mistakes of law, and that's all the judge or jury said you should get, that's probably that.

Few people ever come out of most litigation whole.
