well I started doing it a few years back after nothing else worked. I had a heart attack in 2002 that was when i found out i had an ascending aortic anurysm. I still tried it. There was no damage done to me by the slim fast trick. The only problems i have are directly related to marfan's. With me being 6'5 and only 182 LBS I am still under weight. Someone my size should be atleast 205. I understand your hesitation. "marf's" really need to watch what we put into our body.

The slim fast is suppose to be a whole meal in a glass. However if you keep eating like you are and drink that stuff. You should start gaining weight. I know it sounds retarded. but it does work. Atleast for me it did. I had tried everything myoplex, laying brick and block, construction, repelling and rock climbing still nothing. Untill i tried the slim fast thing.

I'm 27 diagnosed as a marf at birth. My whole life i have battled the same problem. I am 6'5 and now 182 lbs, by far the most i've ever weighed in my life. I always loved physically demanding jobs. I thought it would be good for me having marfan's syndrome. I was eating like a horse and working like a slave. Still no bulk. I have tried so hard to break the 200 lb mark. The only suggestion i have would be to buy some powder slim fast. Drink that 3-4 times a day and still eat normally.
