VEGAS BASH 2005 Final Countdown



Recommended Posts

I haven't pre-ordered the menu from Buca yet because some folks said they're coming for sure but haven't confirmed. Plus all the Vegas last-minute people. The food served at Buca is enormous (each entree serves 8-10 people.) I'm going to make reservations for 20, but I won't pre-order yet.

If anyone has time to go on-line and search for Buca di Bepo, they should have an

on-line menu. I think everyone was pleased with my selection last year - nobody complained and things got dead silent when the food arrived except for the "Mmmms" and "OMG, LOOK HOW BIG IT IS."

I'm suggesting:

One large salad and one small (feeds 900 in BucaLand)

One large Garlic bread (think of an enormous deep dish pizza)

One chicken dish

One white Pasta dish

One red Pasta dish

One dessert

Michelle, what do you think? Wanna take a stab at suggesting the menu this year?

Let's vote. Last year dinner was 5:00 p.m. but 1/2 the people were an hour late so this year it's 6:00 p.m. Trish is driving, lots of folks are traveling. Should we make dinner for 6:00 or 7:00 p.m.?

Thanks, and see ya'll soon!

P.S. I finally went South and earned the right to say "ya'll," Ya'll!

Well John and I cant leave out until Friday morning, and its about an 8 hour drive.. So I probably wont make dinner that night.

Looks like Trish wont be making dinner...

I like 6:00 myself becuase by the time we order and get settled it wil lbe closer to 7 anyways I hate to eat too late, if we make it for 7 then we will be eating around 8.. but I will go along with what majority says

Lisa, I think your sugesstion for dinner is perfect.

.

Lets have everyone Answer the question and cut and paste in your reply so we can get an idea of who wil lactually be there for dinner

Who will be their for dinner?

Michelle

I agree that Bandster rules should dictate an earlier dinner. If I wait too late to eat then I eat way too fast and end up PBing anyway. Six O'Clock it is.

Wow, now I'm getting super excited! I made Buca reservations for 5:45 so we can have drinks before food. Those of you driving in, NO excuses. Go to bed an hour earlier, pack the car the night before and get your butts to dinner!

UHHHH... where is Megan? Anyone got her number?

      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!!
