I have to go to a family Christmas gathering on December 15th. I will be one day shy of 4 weeks post op. Not everyone at the party knows what type of surgery I had (the know I had stomach surgery and that I am on drastic food restrictions). Question is this is a pot luck type party. Any suggestion of something I could take that I could eat and others would want to eat as well? The hardest par is going to be not having a glass of wine!

Are you allowed pudding during this time? If so you could make the following dessert:
