Well, first off, don't cut the leaves off. As a general rule, I always leaves on there till they turn completely brown and dried up, then cut them off. Like others have said, adapting your plant to the sun gradually while still potted is the best way to go. Sounds like yours might be in ground, but that's a good idea for future reference to prevent/minimize sunburn. Beyond that, just make sure you are not over watering it. A lot of people tend to water their bananas too much when they don't need it. Wait till the soil gets dry before watering (and not just the surface, but below the surface as well). Once the plant gets bigger, this will be less of an issue. I guess just be patient and wait it out. Sometimes plants get shocked by being transplanted and take a little while to grow some new roots and get situated.
