Have your cake and eat it too NOT

So I found out this weekend that cake and I no longer get along. We were having a nice family celebration on Sat for my birthday which is this Tuesday.

Hubby bought me a bakery cake nice canola filling. Normally I would love this, and I have had cake before since being banded, but I really wanted ice cream cake this year. The hubby thought that was kiddy cake and wouldn't my guest like a real bakery cake better, but you know my whole week prior had been packed full of stress and emotional roller coaster ride my band is feeling mighty tight.

When I tense up under stress my band tends to tighten up along with the rest of me. So I had a couple of bites of what was a really amazing cake and guess what...yup it got stuck. I didn't want to get "sick" in front of everyone so I suffered with the pressure as it kept trying to pass by. I knew the only way that cake was going was back up and out in the most obnoxious way possible. UGH what a pain literally!!

Thank goodness soon after the cake everyone departed and I made a beeline for the ladies room to evacuate the cake. I think that was enough cake for me for this year! If we have anything on Tuesday night it better be ice cream, cause I am NOT going through that adventure again. Who cares what others think or like I am a kid at heart anyway and it's MY birthday !!!

I was thinking of having them take out a tiny bit of Fluid, but I think most of the time I am OK and when I am not tense and stressed out I'm feeling pretty good about my restriction....

What's your thoughts?

"I love cake" one of my fav 70's show episodes.

I've never been stuck on cake and I'm seldom around the stuff. For me, it's still dry meats and real sticky sushi.

I have gotten stuck once on cake. It really took me by surprise. I try not to eat it, but if I do, I'm careful.

How about one gorgeous truffle instead, with a sparkler in it......you are very sparkly! Happy, happy birthday tomorrow. I hope you get the gift of some serious downtime and relaxation. You deserve it!

Awe, Thank you Bandista! I like the truffle idea!! I'm not into having anymore cake that is for sure!!

We had planned to "escape" for the weekend after everyone left on Saturday but as some left more straggled in after so we had to cancel our get away plan. Maybe this coming weekend we can get away and hide just for a day or two
