Yes, I have...i tried the vanilla flavor. Not bad--very sweet. I usually make my own shakes/smoothies but its necessary to find at least one variety of RTD shakes for a quick meal. I like mine REALLY cold...

I think they're not the best, nutrition-wise, but hey, its nice to have something on the go or at work!

Others have mentioned the Sams Club and costco RTD shakes. Taste preference is such a personal thing...

Hi neighbor! I haven't found ANY bad about San Angelo! I love it! It's just a major culture shock coming from Florida! Not used to cowboy hats and boots except in a country bar and in FL the Mexican community...most do not speak English' date=' have no desire to, and expect someone to speak their language. The first time we went to a Mexican Restraunt I was standing at the counter waiting for my Spanish fluent husband to speak on our behalf and the ladies began talking to me in better English than myself! Lol it caught me so off guard! Everyone is so polite and its just so different. But, I definitely love it and wish I would have moved there sooner!

Have you been sleeved yet? If so where? I have to follow up with someone there. I'm told ill need to go to San Antonio? Would love to chat and maybe get together sometime to walk if your ever up to it! Let me know![/quote']

I have not been sleeved yet- December 17 is my date. I am going to Dr. Sonny Cavasos in San Antonio. He and his partner, Dr. Gonzalez are wonderful!

Our community is incredible. I moved here as a teenager and can not imagine living anywhere else. Most people who think of West Texas have no idea of the art, music, history, etc. that exist here.

Hi fellow Octosleever! DOS 10/11/12 - 255.5 (1st weigh-in 8/15/12 - 278). Last Friday 10/26/2-240. -15.5 since surgery and a total loss of 38 since August. Im sure ive lost more, but i will only weigh myself once a week (I started getting crazy, hopping on and off all day!) on Fridays! Your numbers are incredible, and I thought I was doing good! Keep up the great work, girl!

Thanks Holly! I thought I was way ahead of the game and it seems so. I started at 273 so maybe that's why. God knows I'm not playing!! LOL I failed with the band and I WILL succeed with the sleeve. I told my hubby he needs to hide my scale. Since I got home last night I've been on it way to many times. It's just so surreal to see the numbers drop everytime and look in the mirror and see the same person. I'm excited to see the difference in the mirror as much as the scale.< /p>

I had my husband hide my scale also I thought I was the only one I would get out of bed and that was the first place I went I was so tired of getting on it seeing one pound I want to see a big loss. I'm not going to weigh myself again until I go to my follow up on November 15 not sure If I can hold out.
