What to eat for my birthday, at 5 weeks out????



Recommended Posts

I will be celebrating my birthday in just shy of 2 weeks. At that time I will be 5 weeks post-op and am wondering what I can have instead of cake and ice cream.

Any ideas as my family loves to Celebrate so they will want to do something I am sure of it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

HAPPY (almost) BIRTHDAY!

How about some low fat or fat free, sugar free frozen yogurt? Or maybe you can freeze some SF chocolate pudding? Ive never tried it but it should work. Top it with some fat free cool whip if you want to get fancy :) Im sure you can find some healthy desert ideas online, bariatriceating.com or allrecipes.com, maybe even weightwatchers.com

Good luck!

I just bought an ice cream maker, to put Protein Drinks in.....might be a nice early bday gift... Cuisinart ice20 gets the best raiting in its class, I got mine for around $31 including shipping.....

Love love love Hungry Girl! FYI she has her own show on Cooking Channel/Food Network. I personally am loving watching it and I own one of her cookbooks.

Thanks for all the suggestions :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
