i had the DS in 2009, i never kept track except for on this site, i lost 157 pounds, i go up and down, most important is to get those vits,water and protein in, do your labs,  would still like to lose some more, i am very happy with my surgery

Cant remember off hand how much in those first few weeks

Distal RNY was November 2004

Highest weight................................................325 lbs

Goal weight.....................................................145 lbs

Total weight loss .............................................173 lbs.

Tend to hover around 165 lbs but lately the scale started to move again without me even trying. 

Currently about 152 lbs (did achieve 148 recently, but tended to look emaciated in my eyes, and people kept asking me how I was doing so I am not sure that my original surgical goal is realistic or practical for me)

But hey, happy dance here.... my BMI no longer is super morbidly obese, morbidly obese, or overweight!!!!

But still using my own guages to determine what is right for me!

Keep your heads up out there!
