Cake in soft foods phase?



Recommended Posts

I dont think so - not because you should never enjoy a piece of cake but because cake must be soft, but like bread, it is a DANGER food. it is very very easy to get stuck and pb on cake, its soft, spongy and soaks up fluids in your stomach. You eat a tiny piece that grows to twice its size in your pouch and before you know it, slime and vomiting. I wouldnt risk it.

Everyone's danger foods are different, I could always eat bread and dense cake like carrot cake, but soft muffins and cakes, no way.

I agree with Effiepoo that there will always be a reason to have a treat. I am not saying you should never have treats. I just think that at two weeks out you are still in the learning phase about retraining yourself on food habits. This is a will power diet until you start to get restriction.

Ask your doctor and if u don't want to out of guilt because of it not being a good food choice-dont eat it. My birthday was last Wed and it was the first time in 36 yrs I didn't binge on cake! I didn't even have any! Yay me! But u do u and don't make a decision u will feel guilty about later!

Goodluck!

I had one tiny (and I do mean tiny) taste of my fiance's slice and I was fine. I was never planning on having a whole slice anyway. The band is something I have to live with forever, and I can't see myself never eating cake or "junk" again. I will never, however, eat it in the portions I used to. The band is teaching me moderation, something I was never able to learn in 27 years. Thanks everyone for your advice!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
