Julie3856 98 Posted September 23, 2012 My husband's birthday is coming up soon. He is a gastric sleeve pt & I had the LapBand. This will be the first birthday since having our surgeries. Just looking for some suggestions instead of cake!!! I have heard angel food cake is ok? Just looking for suggestions for "the new normal" when it comes to these situations. Thanks!!!

lassie 247 Posted September 23, 2012 congrats to you both, I cannot eat soft bread or I assume cake so I might try something a little more crisp maybe a fruit crisp or a strawberry parfait. Happy birthday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
farmgirl04 231 Posted September 23, 2012 How about ice cream cake? While I grant you it is not diet food I firmly believe that EVERYONE deserves birthday cake. I know my grocery store sell Carvel, and Carvel has 'individual' serving cakes- probably really 4 servings, and it won't get stuck. 2 Maddysgram and zinhaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted September 23, 2012 a birthday is a birthday and meant for celebrating--so EAT how about one of those (small cakes)? or those singles they make? just because there is cake in the house, doesnt mean its off limits or you have to eat the whole thing. i love angel food cakes (and for my birthday, at work and my hub at home, puts a can of cherry pie filling on it. and again, one piece wont hurt. we are not dieting. we are not afraid of food.< /p> live for life.....not living for food 1 JennyBee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted September 24, 2012 Mini fruit Tarts, so easy to make and you won't have to worry about soft bread/dough. Frozen tarts from your freezer section Filling: vanilla pudding Topping: fresh fruit of your choice, example strawberries/blueberries/raspberries *you can squeeze a little fresh lemon over them* ( you can put a candle in a few to make a wish) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
