I voted for Thanksgiving. All the family and togetherness of Christmass without the stress of shopping & decorating.

In my younger years we all used to Celebrate Beethoven's birthday on December 16 by getting naked and going for an icy dip. Loads of fun.

However, I was a skinny hippy then and didn't think twice about being naked anywhere.

My favorite day is Thanksgiving and not because of the food, but because it is the official kick off of the holiday season. As a child I loved getting up early and watching the Macy's day parade and then the other Thanksgiving day parades. That has always stuck with me.

I really need to pick two, Halloween is also my Wedding anniversary. So they're both my favorite day, followed closely by New Year's Eve which wasn't a choice.

Hubby and I absolutely love Halloween! We decorate the house inside and out every year and hand out tons of goodies to all the kiddies! We even dress up too!

Hey, I like several different days. I love public holidays and I love Chanukah and Simchat Torah. Not that we are really religious but they are nice family type events to go to together. Susannah

      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.
