I'm 8 years into the wls surgery journey and I exercise daily. My go to is, and always will be, simple walking steps. Any number of steps, and just add a few more over time.
There are some good ideas mentioned here. Just start easy so you don't overdo it. Also, don't come down hard on yourself. It's the beginning stages of your journey and you're a work in progress.
I find exercise in a swimming pool the most helpful. Since I am afraid of the community pools with COVID, I have switched to a Nordic Track recumbent bike with the iFit program. It is great exercise and does not leave any sore muscles.
Get the largest screen that they offer and buy the iFit package. Consider it an investment in your future health. I bought the R35 with the 14" screen. I would have liked a bigger screen and really glad I did not try to save and buy the 7" screen. The iFit programs have beautiful scenery and trainer adjusts the resistance level to match the ride. When you are going uphill, there is more resistance then going downhill. It will adjust to your fitness level and make the ride fun and enjoyable.
Nordic Track offered same as cash financing for 39 months. I ended up with a $70 per month payment. That included iFit, in home assembly and in home service package.

MyFitnessPal for nutrition, weight and steps. I would suggest using it for life. It's easy and will give you insight years from now
I've been logging food intake and exercise for at least 10 years - first on sparkpeople, now on myfitnesspal. I never miss a day.
There's a book called "WLS for Dummies" by Dr. Marina Kurian, Barbara Thompson, and Brian Davidson. It was an intro to the different kinds of wls, the good and bad of each type, what to look for in hospitals/surgeons, insurance, pre/during/post surgery, etc.
You can find it on line in your favorite search (Amazon/ebay/etc) or check a local book store.
Good Luck in your quest!
I have the WW app on my phone and log my meals constantly. I also have an apple watch that tracks movement, exercise minutes (30 minutes a day). and hours awake.
I can't speak for others but for me, it works. It helps keep me accountable.
I log my food in MyFitnessPal and exercise in Samsung Health and have thousands of days logged. I haven't missed a day in years. Its a habit and I can't imagine not doing it.
