It gets amazingly better. I had my surgery over 5 years ago, reached my goal and have maintained. I discovered, that one day I could eat something and the next day I couldn't. I enjoy pretty much all foods, just keep my portions very small. I eat around every 3 hours, a yogurt, etc. for Snacks. I use small containers so my portion control is easy. I go out to eat occasionally. Always ask for a to-go container when food is delivered, that way you won't try to over eat. When I get home, I immediately portion the left overs out and have meals for a week. It takes time to figure out what you can eat. Mostly chew your food well, small portions and no liquids while eating. The first few months after surgery I didn't see much of a loss but then I had lost 130 in a year.
