It's my birthday!!!! In super excited to Celebrate but no cake just seems weird. What things did you substitute with?

I'm not going to go stuff my face with sad choices so no need to get preachy and its my birthday so no mean posts.

Happy birthday!!!

Cupcakes? You could even do the little mini ones. I say everything in moderation. It's all about portion control. My moms bday was yesterday and I made a boxed cake mix since I knew I could take a bite and walk away vs a cake from scratch. I had a bite, logged it in myfitnesspal and didn't feel like I was missing out.

Sugar free frozen yogurt, make a smoothie, if you go to a medical store or health food section you should find sugar free cake for diabetics, and a little piece of that wouldn't be bad. I can not lie I went to the frozen yogurt place in town and about 2 oz of the REAL deal for a treat for my birthday. Just the yogurt, no toppings or anything. It was a nice treat, although I did get a sugar headache and wolnt do that again for a while!

FIRST OFF HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY.... I DONT KNOW HOW FAR OUT YOU ARE . BUT HAVE WHAT YOU WANT (REALLY HOW MUCH OF IT WILL YOU EAT)JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET RID OF IT SO YOU CANT HAVE MORE LATER IN THE DAY IF YOU WANNA BE REALLY GOOD.. I AM SURE PEOPLE WONT LIKE MY ANSWER BUT I DECIDED AFTER MUCH THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EAT HEALTHY BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WILL INDULGE AND MY BIRTHDAY WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE DAYS!!!! :D

If you look up the Bariatric Foodie on google, she has tons of recipes for everything including desserts! See if something on there looks good to you.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks everyone! I think when we go out to dinner I'll convince my friends to order desert and give me a bite

This is funny -- I went out with friends for my birthday a few weeks ago. They all know about my surgery and they also know I haven't eaten sugar for years. But the restaurant brought an ice cream sundae with a candle. After enduring the Happy Birthday song, and blowing out the candle, I tried to get someone to eat the sundae. NO ONE wanted it! I was embarrassed, but after years of sugar addiction, I am not going back there again!

You'll probably discover that cake doesn't taste the same anymore.

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day!
