Good luck. My advice is eat slowly and chew everything to the consistency of applesauce.

I have only had the band since June 10th but one of the things that I think is something that is very important is to mentally prepare yourself for the post-op diet for the first few weeks after surgery. Commit to yourself that you follow your doctor's orders so that you can heal properly from the surgery.
