2005 Vegas Bash



Recommended Posts

I'm lonely, and I need new clothes, plus it's never too early to start planning this summer's Vegas Bash/Clothing Exchange. We should do it earlier this time when the pool Water is still warm. Lots of pool fun this time!

I would suggest Labor Day weekend, but I think hotel rates go up for holidays. FEEDBACK, PLEASE.

Same as last year. We'll all meet for dinner at Buca di Bepo Friday night, then party at my house on Saturday. This year's theme is salad Bar Buffet, potluck poo-poo platters, and appetizers. And Carol's famous margueritas will be our yearly tradition (I hope she can come!)

Hey I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo there. If we book hotel rooms early the cost might not be so bad. Labor Day weekend works for me.

OK who is doing the weight challenge this year?

I wanna come!!! But if it's on a holiday weekend, I probably can't get a flight because I have to fly stand-by.

This is just general information to give you a ballpark idea of rates for September. I checked The Excaliber, since that hotel historically has the lowest rates on The Strip for decent rooms.

Rates are subject to change (they lock them in when you make a reservation.)

These are for 2 people in a room, staying Friday night and Saturday night.

September 2 & 3 (Labor Day weekend, higher rates)

Friday night $139.95, Saturday night $169.95 = $309.90 for 2 nights

All the remaining weekends in September are $40.00 cheaper for the weekend

Friday night $129.95, Saturday night $139.95 = $269.90 for 2 nights

Trish, yes, you are welcome. It's a fabulous experience for anyone interested in the band.

Lisa,

After last year and all the mess we made, I didn't think you or DH would even let us in your house again. And of course I'll make margaritas, but since we ran out last year -- do I have to make 3 batches. We will see how many people are coming and go from there.

If Vera, Becky, Michelle and I share a room with two queens that should save us some money. Also, this year can we rent a car instead of taxis? It might be cheaper too and then we don't have to wait forever. And can hit the outlet stores too.

Keep me posted. I'll go to Bandstock and Vegas Bash this year.

Vera, send me the info on the Bay Area one please.

I'd love to share a room. If any of you guys are toasty warm like my hubby, I'll sleep with you! Otherwise, I'll bring a heating pad and we can share it. ;) Renting a car sounds great. Are we flying out? DH will drive me down to you so I can have company the whole way. I can hardly wait!

Is the Bay Area Bash happening this year? I heard someone say it wouldn't be until 2006, but that was a few months ago.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
