Should I let my family get a cake for my birthday?



Recommended Posts

What have you vets done? If I let my husband get one with the super sugary frosting he likes, I won't even be tempted because I like the whipped frosting. If anyone has any good ideas for sugar-free or other alternatives, I would be happy to hear them!

Thanks :)

You can have your cake and eat it too! Haha, if you think you can only eat a few pieces, then totally order cake, enjoy it, and let everyone else enjoy it. If not, let them order cake that they like and you don't really like, and then everyone has a nice time and you won't be tempted.

Hope you have a great birthday!

I too was torn for my sons birthday last week. I usually get a small cake that last us a few days. This year I bought each if us a cupcake that was decorated to look like a mini cake. This way I could have my cake ( which I love) but it was already portioned for me.

I will tell you that 1) sweets were my biggest weakness and my go-to binge food pre-surgery. 2) A bite of cake now makes me throw up my toenails. (I learned the hard way). For me, they could try to force feed it to me and I could turn it down with no issues. Problem solved for me. If I were you, I would not worry about it being available. But I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
