My husband's birthday is coming up soon. He is a gastric sleeve pt & I had the LapBand. This will be the first birthday since having our surgeries. Just looking for some suggestions instead of cake!!! I have heard angel food cake is ok? Just looking for suggestions for "the new normal" when it comes to these situations. Thanks!!!

congrats to you both, I cannot eat soft bread or I assume cake so I might try something a little more crisp maybe a fruit crisp or a strawberry parfait. Happy birthday

How about ice cream cake? While I grant you it is not diet food I firmly believe that EVERYONE deserves birthday cake. I know my grocery store sell Carvel, and Carvel has 'individual' serving cakes- probably really 4 servings, and it won't get stuck.

Great ideas!!! Thank you!!!

a birthday is a birthday and meant for celebrating--so EAT

how about one of those (small cakes)? or those singles they make?

just because there is cake in the house, doesnt mean its off limits or you have to

eat the whole thing.

i love angel food cakes (and for my birthday, at work and my hub at home, puts a can of cherry pie filling on it.

and again, one piece wont hurt.

we are not dieting. we are not afraid of food.

live for life.....not living for food

You can always try a flour less cake. I had have some that have been fab!!

How about cheesecake?

Mini Fruit Tarts, so easy to make and you won't have to worry about soft bread/dough.

Frozen tarts from your freezer section

Filling: vanilla pudding

Topping: fresh fruit of your choice, example strawberries/blueberries/raspberries

*you can squeeze a little fresh lemon over them*

( you can put a candle in a few to make a wish)
