Hi my name is Danyel im 26 and I had my first appt.tuesday 1/24/12 theh weighed me and I nearly cried I weighed in at 367 lbs and 5"3 in height I already never ate much thats why I never understood y me y I have to be big well I immediately started the pre-op diet and the shakes are disgusting I had to look in the mirror and remeber y I was doing this I pray the lapband works for me as it did with some of the success stories I read:)

I couln't drink milk in the beginnig nor did I want to. I mixed it with water and ice and put it in the blender. I even had to sneak in some lite chocolate syrup to get it down at times. I really tried a dozen different types and had trouble getting any down except the body fortress, however I needed to thicken it like a shake to drink it. It is cheap at Walmart too. I think I paid 14 dollars for a nice size container of chocolate. I don't like or drink milk so now the few times a week a take a shake on the go with me in the morning I use milk to get some added calcium.

They do make a powder that is plain and that way you can blend it with fruit yourself. You really can't taste it and low fat yogart is good too! Good luck!

Just wanna thank all of yall for ur compliments and helping me to understand im really determined n dont wanna gv up hope again thanks:)
