  One of my friends went through something like this, although it was only around a year after. I believe her biggest struggle was figuring out the correct amounts to eat. A nutritionist may be able to help you if you have concerns.
  
  Alternatively, I lost over 60 pounds naturally in the 1 1/2 years before I concieved and became much more active. I'm still training for my first 10K next week, among other things, and had to get a Fit Bit to track my heart rate (dr's orders). It also gives me an estimate of how many calories I burn in a day, so I try to keep that number in mind to ensure that I'm eating enough.

  Though I did not have surgery, I did lose 115 pounds before getting pregnant and returned to normal caloric intake for the first time in 5 years once I got pregnant. It's been hard; I'm at 13 weeks and 3 days and have already gained 7 pounds. I still track my food on MyFitnessPal because, otherwise, I am crap with portion control/knowing when to stop.
