My fiance's birthday is this Saturday and I was wondering if I would be able to have any cake while I'm in the soft foods phase? My guess would be no but I want to see what you guys think. Thanks!

I agree with Effiepoo that there will always be a reason to have a treat. I am not saying you should never have treats. I just think that at two weeks out you are still in the learning phase about retraining yourself on food habits. This is a will power diet until you start to get restriction.

Ask your doctor and if u don't want to out of guilt because of it not being a good food choice-dont eat it. My birthday was last Wed and it was the first time in 36 yrs I didn't binge on cake! I didn't even have any! Yay me! But u do u and don't make a decision u will feel guilty about later!

Goodluck!

I had one tiny (and I do mean tiny) taste of my fiance's slice and I was fine. I was never planning on having a whole slice anyway. The band is something I have to live with forever, and I can't see myself never eating cake or "junk" again. I will never, however, eat it in the portions I used to. The band is teaching me moderation, something I was never able to learn in 27 years. Thanks everyone for your advice!
