On the 10th of this month will be my 2 year surgiversary. I started at 267 lbs and now currently weigh 149. I think this is my body's happy place - it isn't hard to maintain at this weight and I look and feel good. :) I went from a size 22W to a 6. Had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and sleep apnea - all gone. I try to get exercise at least 3 times per week, still attend support group, and still log everything into MFP. I can comfortably stay around 1200-1300 calories per day, under 80(ish) carbs and around 80-100g protein per day.

For the newbies - my advice is to get everything out of the first 6 months - 1 year because that is when the bulk of the weight comes off. I have maintained for about a year and think it would take quite a bit of effort to lose more at this stage.

Anyway, just wanted to share my stuff with you. :)
