I'm new and just wanted to say hi
Congratulations on the beginning of an AMAZING adventure/journey 
My advice is to not sweat the small stuff - just follow your doctor's orders.... OH is a great place to come for advice and comfort but it is not a replacement for your docs rules. Every surgeon has their own way of doing things so don't get freaked out if you see something on here that contradicts what you've been told.
I am almost 3 years out - I prepared myself by taking my before pictures and measurements (I pull them out when I feel myself falling into bad habits). Then I went and bought a pair of jeans that were a size 14 - that was my goal. When I got into them it was awesome - even better when they got to be too big :)
I also read everything I could get my hands on about WLS to calm my mind. Honestly, Carnie Wilson's book was like writing about myself (yes, she has gained a lot of weight back but that was because she fell off the wagon).
This journey has sometimes been hard but the best thing I ever did in my life. Just take it one day at a time.
GOOD LUCK
