Hey there Jenna.. besides following the band rules I would suggest keeping a journal. I love going back and reading what I was feeling at the beginning and through the past 9 months. I wish I had taken more pictures pre banding but I was always hiding behind people or things lol. I also wish someone had told me that I didn't have to give up all my favorite foods.. I made a list of all my favorite foods and restaurants and seriously ate so much before I started my 2 week pre op diet. UGH I wish I hadn't done that. I still can eat, and am satisfied just with so much less. If you have any specific questions let me know.. you can also email me at
1morrisfamily@comcast.net .. I remember being scared and excited and girl don't be scared just be EXCITED!
