Suggestions For Birthday



Recommended Posts

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!!!

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 :)

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.

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

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)

      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.
