I'm with you Holli... I don't think that I'll make it this year either. :smile2: Financially I just can't do it. I have a bunch of friends going in May and they are all bugging me to go, but I just CAN'T! Between trying to get my credit cleaned up and finishing my degree... I just don't see a vacation in my near future...

Well, been hearing about a Vegas trip....and it doesn't seem like it's happening.

Am off to Vegas this weekend, will leave Friday. Staying on the Fremont

dinner Friday night will be at Arizona Charlie's

off to the Excalibur

then to the Stratosphere tower

El Cortez for the trolly to First Friday

Then Fremont Experience til I get too tired.

Saturday is Breakfast at the Orleans followed by a beauty package. Then lunch at the Suncoast then to the Venetian for the Grand Canal Shops. Then a makeover at 2 then more shopping.

Dinner at Margaritaville then the Masquerade show at the Rio, followed by the Bellagio for the garden, chocolate fountain, and Water show.

Then back to the hotel.

I plan to bring straws and a 'cup' in my bag to carry with me throughout the day. Plenty of napkins...just in case.

I'm sure I'll have fun at the buffets but know if I eat more than 3-5 bites I'll be sliming it up.

Y'all if you are in Vegas this weekend let me know. I'd love to meet another bandster.

Had a blast! So busy for the weekend didn't even have time to do everything.

Learned something I never knew before:

Don't take the taxi. Used to be it was such n such from this hotel to that...but now they charge $2.50 for each red light they wait at...no kidding. Sitting at flamingo road going south....I saw 20 cents charged every few seconds.

It's a new fare, not only miles but time, too. So if you have a taxi that stays in the right hand lane, or stops at a yellow light when others go thru til it turns red...

yep, it costs!

Never again!

Tip: all hotels/casinos have FREE valet parking. Just pull right up, get your ticket, and have fun on the block. When you are ready to go, just present your ticket and go to the next block...FREE PARKING.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
