I totally agree with @@OutsideMatchInside and @@JamieLogical about following the rules and working hard to establish new healthy habits in the beginning. We are at a fragile state after surgery, physically, mentally and emotionally. Having structure and stability will ease the growing pains (or shrinking pains in this case).

I was a strict rule follower at first, but as I passed goal weight, I felt more confident in my ability to forge my own way. There were just certain rules that didn't jive with me and I would not have been a happy camper trying to stick with them. I had surgery so I could be "normal", not so I would feel restricted. So I found what worked for me, which is very different than what may work for you. But if, at any point I find myself gaining weight or becoming unhealthy I will certainly reassess my plan and adjust my "rules". That's what's so great about all this....it's a constant evolution and I am in control of what happens to me.
