Hey neighbor, I'm in Georgetown, work in Austin. I was banded in February. Don't think of this as a diet that you can fail at. This is a lifestyle change. There will be ups and downs just like everything else in life. It will be a learning curve but you will do great. Just relax and focus on healing after surgery. I am still new at this myself, if you follow the 8 golden rules you will be fine.
