I'm going to be the bad guy. Don't eat cake. Do something nice for yourself instead. You'll feel better and be proud of yourself. What better gift than the gift of health? Go get a massage or a pedicure' date=' go to a great chick flick, just do something cool and awesome for yourself that doesn't involve food. You can do it, just be strong and don't listen to the enablers. This is a new life, don't fall back into old behaviors. Cake sucks, don't do it. Celebrations do NOT need to be about food. Let us know what happens, I believe in you and that you can do the right thing for yourself. Happy birthday to the new you![/quote']

Bad guy? No not to me...

I remember my first birthday after the sleeve.

It made me sad... But what made me sad is the first thing I thought about was the damn cake!

Why do we have equate celebrations with food?

It is so ingrained in us.

Should we have cake? I don't know I can't predict what is best for each individual. But for me? I'm trying to change some patterns..

so I try not to think about food as part of the event or celebration.

My youngest bday was Friday. We get these designer cupcakes. I had 1/2one without the frosting. I got carrot cake for me. I am glad I had it. Was the first cake like thing I had had since my surgery in May. If you want it take a little but know you have control to stop.

Have some cake birthday lady :) I enjoyed a small sliver at my sisters bday party last weekend. The difference...the cake ended up coming home with us, and I didn't even consider or want another piece. My husband and son polished off the rest. It was even my favorite type of cake! (yellow with chocolate frosting)

Happy Birthday!

That sliver of cake sounds huge! lol

      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?
