What can I eat instead of cake after 1 month post-op?

Hi everyone!

So my birthday is on February 27th, that's actually 6 days after my first month surgery anniversary.

Obviously I can't have cake because of all the sugar and flour and food coloring, but I also don't want to spend my birthday without anything to put a candle on and Celebrate around. You only turn 29 once, am I right?

I found this recipe for raw, vegan brownies that seem like the next best thing, but my nutritionist said no honey and these have some maple syrup on them, which is kind of similar. Here's the recipe by the way:


Also, I don't know if I can eat ground cashews or any kind of nuts; my diet booklet doesn't specify on this matter.

So please, help a sistah out!
Any recommendation, suggestion, angst and/or commiseration is welcome :D

My birthday is the 28th and I will be two days shy of four weeks out so I am watching this post carefully. My family wants to go out to dinner and I have no idea what to order.

You can go to Red Lobster and order the Snow Crab Legs, without butter obviously!

They're easy to digest and super nutritious. You're not gonna be able to eat the side dishes though, so you can share those with your family (:
