I use unsweetened almond milk with added protein.It's only 35 calories and hardly any carbs (I think 1g) or sugars and has 5 proteins. Once it's mixed with the powder and ice in the blender I can't tell the difference between that and regular milk.

I'm from Stafford, but recently moved to Raleigh. My heart is still there does that count? :-)

I'm getting my first fill tomorrow too and I'm nervous! The nurse at my Dr.'s office said the band doesn't make you fuller faster but forces you to eat slower, but that goes against everything I was ever taught about lap band. Good luck! I hope it gies great for you! :-)
