Just one piece :) I checked out sugar free options at the grocery store and the carbs are quite a bit. Any suggestions?

Select a healthy way to Celebrate without cake. "Fake" cake or ice cream etc... For Me always leads back to the real thing.

Good luck and happy bday!

if you like chocolate cake you can mix 1 box chocolate cake mix with 1 can diet coke and bake as directed on the box. I think 1/12 of the cake is like 120 calories. Been a while since I have made it. Dollop with some cool whip! Or just have one piece from somewhere! It's your birthday girl!!

Yes! The ever popular "Pop Cake"....There are so many combos...white cake is good with diet 7up, diet Cherry 7up, diet Mountain Dew..etc. Chocolate Cake is good with diet Pepsi/Coke, diet Dr.Pepper, and diet Root Beer. You can also do cupcakes for better Portion Control.< /p>

Good luck and ENJOY your B-Day =)

There are two ways to look at this. Can you just have one bite? If so by all means have it.

If not... Then don't have a bite. You have enjoyed cake for 34 or so birthdays. Missing one or 2 in order to get control of your eating and let the band work for you is certainly worth it.

Once you hit goal you can enjoy it again in moderation. I chose option number 2 for 22 months and it paid off in spades. Now I can have a bite or 2 and be satisfied and know it won't do any damage.

Though I skipped cake on my last birthday (it was just after my surgery), I fully intend to have a bite or 2 next year...

We can't be compliant 100% of the time...so enjoy your day and your cake within reason.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes and suggestions :) Jungle Jim's (awesome place if you ever get the chance to visit, it's in Ohio) just opened up not too far from me, so I think I'm going to hit the bakery and get something small, so in essence it will be bites.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
