Hello, I'm Recently Diagnosed

Hi guys,
This is my first post here; I'm pretty excited to be a part of this community! I've read some other posts before, but I just created an account today so I can post and become more involved. Anyways, here's my story:
I was recently diagnosed about a month ago on March 13, 2017 after a colonoscopy and endoscopy showed that I have Crohn's in my small intestines (I think the Ileum?) and in various patches in my large intestine. Fun times! Thankfully, my Crohn's is more of a mild case.
I'm currently on Methotrexate :( (20 milligrams taken once weekly), Folic Acid (1 mg daily), and Vitamin D (2,000 mg daily). I'm also currently on an 80/20 liquid diet, where 80% of my calories come from meal replacement shakes like Boost and Ensure, and the other 20% is for any food I want. The meds and diet seem to be working so far, so that's good!
Anyways, thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great day!
