What's your July 4th plans?



Recommended Posts

What is everyone doing over the long weekend?

We are going up to the lake with the rest of the family and some friends. We have cabins rented on the lake. We have some speed boats, pantoon boats, bass fishing boats, and some ski-doos.

I am a little scared about all the food/drinks that will be there, my family really does love to eat/drink. So, I am going to really have to watch myself! :):):D We have lots of good cooks in this family! But I do intend on having a good time! :D:D:D

Going to California for an appointment with my Band surgeon. Dr. Billy is such a great guy that he is seeing me on a holiday. I'm invading John & Penni's house. I'll be flying home just before fireworks, so this will be an odd 4th of July for me.

Betty, you better have a camera cuz those are my kinda plans.

We are going to N Mrytle Beach, we have a house down there. It really comes in handy for quick get aways.

This is my first "holiday" being banded, I have no fill yet but I don't want to do anything wrong. Luckly they (my family) all know about it and the first question is can Kim eat that? They are wonderful...Although I tried Watermelon this past weekend and it didn't do good with me. So I will not be taking in that part.

Hope everyone has a nice and safe 4th!!!!

Sounds so much fun, I'm so jelouse that Delarla and Penni get to party together, wish I was there. Good luck at Dr. Billy's, tell him we all think he is fine. Have a safe 4th of July and stay safe lots of drunken people on the road on the Holidays. I will be getting my tt that morning, so I'll probably sleep through the fireworks.

going to N Mrytle Beach

I heard that place is beautiful!

We are aiming for Houston. Mike has a 4 day weekend, so we are planning on taking the kids on a "family vacation". Anne asked me 6 times yesterday, "when are we going on our family vacation?" Now its turning into bribery.... "If you dont stop fighting, we are NOT going on that "family vacation".

Space Center, Water park and (God help us) Astroworld... and many bottles of wine for the parents!

Oh FUN!

I doen't matter what I want to do. I want to go camping. But I have twin sister-in-laws and they have their birthday on the 4th. So I don't get to go camping ever again for the 4th of July weekend.

Yeah, they get all the holidays. I never get to host a single holiday. I had to make up my own holiday-Crystal's Anual Going to School Day holiday...

Not sure what we're doing over the weekend. But Monday the 4th is my son's birthday, so we'll be having immediately family together at my mom and dad's that day. We're having cake & ice cream, then opening gifts, then having a small firework display. It should be a blast!!!

I'm sure that Saturday and Sunday will consist of cookouts of some kinds at our families' homes, thus lots of yummy food to eat. Oy!!!!

We had plans to go to Nags Head, NC, we have a beach house there, but my Gson was selected for the All Stars, (1st time, baseball), and his games start this Friday, AND, he has a game on the 4th. The best thing about having a beach house is all our clothes and personal items are there, so we can just scoot down, spend a day or two and head back, without a lot of hassle.

Everyone please have a SAFE holiday weekend.

Well I'm off to Yosemite in the morning, I'll be back on the 3rd.

Bill's sister and family are coming out from Chicago today. His niece is flying from south Africa into O'Hare then switching planes to Calif, what an exciting life she has.

On the 4th we go to the parade, take out the boat and of course Bar-B-Q (easterners say cook out).

Lisa, Good Luck! I'm guessing your going to get a new port!

Happy Birthday Dylan

Crystal gets her own holiday, what day should we make it?

      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.
