Birthday Ideas



Recommended Posts

I am two days shy of being one week post-op! However, my birthday is coming up in less than a week. My younger brother and husband are really kind of at a blank when it comes to getting me a birthday "cake," since I can't eat solids right now (my youngest brother made me a Keto birthday cake one year when I was doing that.) I told them it really doesn't matter, some nice Soup would be fantastic (Ooooo, from Panera right?) But they'd still the suggestion.

Does anyone have any suggestions for them? I was thinking of a cake batter Protein Shake, but I didn't know where to start.

Call your Dr, don’t try anything your Dr haven’t cleared

And Celebrate your birthday with thoughts of the wonderful chances at future birthdays with your surgery. For this gift of renewed life, volunteer for others, a Soup kitchen, watch kids for a frazzled mom, read to or visit the elderly. Give someone a blessing in their life and you won't miss cake, ice cream and the other no- good- for- you type presents.

I really want to extend my thanks to those who answered. For what it's worth, I definitely do NOT want an actual cake (not even a huge cake person) but I was trying to humor the actions of some well-meaning members of my family. Honestly, I'd be happy with a cake batter Protein Shake (I was kind of hoping someone had tried a brand.) I'm not cleared for pureed until 12/27 and I'm sticking to that. :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
