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 :)

      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.
