Daddyof4 95 Posted June 6, 2012 Hi Difa, How are you doing? Did you get banded June 4? I was banded May 21. I am 5 feet 9 inches, started at 285, now at 255 and am 55 years old. I did not have to do the pre-op liquid but did manage to lose a few pounds doing Atkins for two weeks prior. Still trying to juggle the soft foods, Protein Shakes, Vitamins, etc. but happy with results so far. Let me know how it's going for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
