I'm 5-1/2 years post op and STILL have the weight off. So, take my advice on this. As bad as this sucks, the "break down" stage (liquid diet, I could eat a shoe) is important. Try to focus on sticking with it because your brain will trick your body into thinking you are hungry after the surgery. The liquid stage is such an important step. It sounds crazy but the stage that I flipped out on was soft foods. I was frustrated by then! Hang in there. You will get there.
