I'd be more than appreciative. I'm 20 years old by the way

That's quite a request?

One of our regular posters wrote a 500+ page book about this. Buy her book, you won't regret it. http://jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com/

In the meantime, here's a manual from a doctor in Atlanta. http://www.peachtreebariatrics.com/docs/Gastric-Band-Patient-Manual.pdf

Did you go to an informational seminar with your surgeon before setting a surgery date? Have you already met with a nutrionist? These things are both necessary and are done before you have surgery. It's imperative you go into this fully educated not only on the surgery itself but your nutritional needs after.
