Jason,

Don't be sorry! You certainly can't control the weather (can u?? :)) You have been so sweet to organize this and plan it without looking for reimbursement but I hope you will let kaninag see about getting your money back or at least a "rain check". lol

Anyway, I just wanted to say what a great guy you are and we will all definitely have to get together soon!

I will have to admit, with 6 in my family, my pocketbook is definitely heaving a big sigh of relief right now! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!!

i just hate letting peole down when they are lookng forward to something, thats just how i am. imy wife always tells me i try to make everyone happy when i can't make everyone happy.

and thanks, we will start working on another one asap.

and im sure your pocket book is happy...lol mine is to.

i gave them a call and they just said they couldn't do it. but would like to talk to me about helping out the next time we try to do something up there. im not pushing it because i would like them to help out next time.

im going to contact vernoica when she gets back from vacation and talk to her about getting a sponsor. im also goig to contact other doctors and she what they think. it would be some good advertisement for them i think.

Sponsers: Depending on how much they donated could get their company logo printed on the sign, shirts (if we do shirts) and flyers to advertise them for the band. That was part of what was racking thru my head yesterday. Cuz you can have a big banner made to put up in the park showing everyone where to go!

Give the event a name...Like Banders Reunion or something...put a logo under that like "don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork" Then around all that you list the sponsers. There is a local sign shop here and theyre not that expensive! Just some thoughts....

Guest speakers, another thought

Activities for the kids like face painting and bobbing for apples...make it like a festival!!!!

      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.
