[lmcgloon 127]

I found this recipe on Pintrest and altered it to be RNY friendly. I don't have exact nutrition information.

Ingredients

• 1 Pkg Pillsbury sugar-free Yellow Cake Mix
  
• 2 Pk sugar free Orange Gelatin
  
• 1 Pk Sugar Free vanilla Instant pudding
  
• 1 Cup Fat Free/Skim Milk
  
• 2 Large eggs
  
• 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  
• 1 Tub Fat Free/Sugar Free Whipped Topping
  

Directions

Bake the cake as directed in a 9x13" pan. Let cake cool completely. Poke holes in cooled cake. Mix 1 package orange Gelatin dessert with 1 c. boiling Water and 1 c. cold water. Pour over cake. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Mix pudding mix with cold milk the other package of orange gelatin dessert and vanilla. Beat by hand with a whisk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping. Frost the cake with the pudding mixture.

On that recipe I can have the eggs... But that's about it

Weight watchers has a cake you make with a prepared mix and a can of soda - but that too will never be on my list

wait, why? I haven't made it yet but do you think it is a bad idea?

[Katie 16]

You should be okay, I don't see why it would be a bad idea. Not all the time though.

Carbs are not at all on my plan - that's mostly carbs

Here's the nutritional info for the cake. Serving size = 1/10th of the cake. Enjoy!

some folks on here can have Beans and farina and oatmeal and potatoes and corn -

even after I have total clearance some of those items are simply “not” recommended. everyone is different - eating the tiniest amount of cake would trigger me - just my humble opinion.

That's really not bad. Thanks for the recipe.

Oh I'm not offended. Isn't it crazy how each doctor has a different meal plan? Some people get recommended to eat toast early on, it's just weird how it's all so different.

I haven't had any bread yet, but I have had a couple whole wheat tortilla wraps, and I have some low carb crackers that I eat with my cheese. My doc said I could start on Pasta and rice, too but I don't want to. Especially the pasta. We used to eat it a lot and I know it's not a good choice for me, especially since I'm a diabetic.

Everyone has their triggers and we know what we should and shouldn't have. I'm not going to keep the cake here, it's for a friends party, but it just made me happy knowing that I could have a piece if I wanted.

I've been really struggling lately with the mindset of going back to eating normal food, it's surprising how guilty we feel after a few months on the restrictive diet. I've talked with my nutritionist about it ad she said it's normal to feel that way, but it's more important that we recognize good food choices and not punish ourselves if we slip up or try a small serving of something, like chips or sweets, or whatever your vice is.

Anyway, ridiculously long story short, I may have a small piece of cake, I may not, I haven't really decided. But I do know that if I do, I'm not going to feel bad about it because I know I've made good choices up to this point and I feel comfortable that it won't trip me up. I may not always feel this way, especially once the full feeling doesn't come as quick and I can eat more. But for now I'm just happy knowing that a friend offered me a sugar free ice cream bar the other day and I turned it down That was my old trigger.

sounds good. I'm going to try it. I have two bridal showers that i'm doing and i'm going to make a regular cake, but i wanted to find a sugar free not only for me but I have alot of members of the family that are diabetic.

I heart you!!!

My Dr. has ZERO carbs foods (Pasta rice potato STARCH STUFF) until your ok on all foods - so when folks post here their dietary stuff I’m a little jealous - but in a small family - I know if I made that cake - the kids wouldn’t eat it - the husband might have a bite - and it would taunt and torture me from the counter top...

same goes with bread - i LOVE LOVE LOVE all breads - and I can’t have a little - I don’t even want to try it...

I miss going to a big office and letting the vultures do their thing (i.e. brining stuff to work to get it out of my home).

That whole never waste things comes from my Granny who lived in the depression - I have to get away from that.

[lmcgloon 127]

I know whatcha mean. My husband grew up in a house where food was not wasted because with 4 brothers if you didn't eat it someone else would, so it drives him insane that I throw so much stuff out. I hate leftovers, but since I eat so little I sort of have no choice to keep some stuff, but it only keeps for so long. It'll get easier for you post-op to stay away from the things you want to. I don't even crave breads or pastas (and I'm a carb lover). The diet sort of becomes second nature after a while. But, I'm still only 11 weeks out so we'll see how I feel in a few months.

I'm not even sure how I'll cook small enough! I don't do left overs either - unless it's something I reallt love - all part of my future past
