Birthday Ideas



Recommended Posts

I am two days shy of being one week post-op! However, my birthday is coming up in less than a week. My younger brother and husband are really kind of at a blank when it comes to getting me a birthday "cake," since I can't eat solids right now (my youngest brother made me a Keto birthday cake one year when I was doing that.) I told them it really doesn't matter, some nice Soup would be fantastic (Ooooo, from Panera right?) But they'd still the suggestion.

Does anyone have any suggestions for them? I was thinking of a cake batter Protein Shake, but I didn't know where to start.

hot chocolate? 1c milk (fairlife for a bigger Protein punch), 1 TBL unsweetened cocoa, 1-2 packets artificial sweetener (I use stevia), and a drop of vanilla.

Call your Dr, don’t try anything your Dr haven’t cleared

And Celebrate your birthday with thoughts of the wonderful chances at future birthdays with your surgery. For this gift of renewed life, volunteer for others, a Soup kitchen, watch kids for a frazzled mom, read to or visit the elderly. Give someone a blessing in their life and you won't miss cake, ice cream and the other no- good- for- you type presents.

I really want to extend my thanks to those who answered. For what it's worth, I definitely do NOT want an actual cake (not even a huge cake person) but I was trying to humor the actions of some well-meaning members of my family. Honestly, I'd be happy with a cake batter Protein Shake (I was kind of hoping someone had tried a brand.) I'm not cleared for pureed until 12/27 and I'm sticking to that. :)

      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.
