Should I let my family get a cake for my birthday?

What have you vets done? If I let my husband get one with the super sugary frosting he likes, I won't even be tempted because I like the whipped frosting. If anyone has any good ideas for sugar-free or other alternatives, I would be happy to hear them!

Thanks :)

How about angle food cake with Cool whip frosting and fruit. I cannot wait till I am able to have this again. So flippin good!

I let my family get a red velvet cake for my birthday and I even ate about a half a slice of it.

You can have your cake and eat it too! Haha, if you think you can only eat a few pieces, then totally order cake, enjoy it, and let everyone else enjoy it. If not, let them order cake that they like and you don't really like, and then everyone has a nice time and you won't be tempted.

Hope you have a great birthday!

I too was torn for my sons birthday last week. I usually get a small cake that last us a few days. This year I bought each if us a cupcake that was decorated to look like a mini cake. This way I could have my cake ( which I love) but it was already portioned for me.

Great ideas!! Thanks ❤️

I will tell you that 1) sweets were my biggest weakness and my go-to binge food pre-surgery. 2) A bite of cake now makes me throw up my toenails. (I learned the hard way). For me, they could try to force feed it to me and I could turn it down with no issues. Problem solved for me. If I were you, I would not worry about it being available. But I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.
