RNY has been a lifesaver for me. I do have a lot of hanging skin but only because I was morbidly obese my whole life and my skin was crazy stretched out. a friend of mine had VSG and she wishes she would have had RNY.

I don't drink calories, its pointless to me with no chew factor, I would rather eat the yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts, my daily snack.

I'm thinking RainbowRN (and a lot of other hard-working people with demanding jobs) probably count on grab-n-go shakes as a thankful option. I haven't purchased a store-bought shake in months but do like trying what's new out there. Warning to those considering buying the 32-ounce of Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt...the 32-ounce size also comes in a non-Greek version with identical packaging..easy to mistake the two.

So not eating all day and then eating from the time you get home until bedtime is better?

I fight badgers with spoons.

The stats IMHO are kind of crappy. More carbs then protein. Definitively not for me.

Yikes - that's alot of sugar. I would go into a sugar coma if I ate that much in one sitting. I am with other posters, I never drink my calories. I want to CHEW! LOL I always look at nutrition info before I eat - protein grams first, then sugar second, because sugar really affects me if a serving is over about 10 grams. I have even been know to react with my Quest Double Chocolate Chunk protein bar with 7 g sugar/sugar alcohols.

Sorry that I have not been able to reply until now. Busy last 24 hrs. I really like these shakes because to me it's a good 'grab and go' item. I would not normally consume that much sugar but it taste good and is healthier than some other things that I could be eating. What good for one may not be good for another.

I'm so busy and on the road a lot, that these would be cool! At least, certainly better than a lot of other drive-through options for me. And who can eat yogurt with a spoon while driving a car? I mean, I CAN, but I SHOULDN'T. :) Thanks for the suggestion!

(And you are doing awesome, by the way!)

For me, a better grab and go option would be a jerky of some type, turkey, beef, pork, or a hard boiled egg. Less chance of a dumping episode and will keep you fuller longer....or nuts....or cheese..........

Yes, it is better than grabbing a Big Mac, to be sure, and I might try them if they go on sale, but why not just eat some yogurt? It only requires a plastic spoon...
