Birthdays with birthday cake

ROFLMAO that sounds like somethin i would do!!!

It's the cake the girls want since that is special on b-days. If it doesn't bother you, get a mini cake (Tom Thumb has them) They serve 4. Or do cupcakes and just get one for each child!

WOW That was a lot of good ideas! I will definetly think about the pound cake although I probably won't get much of it down...these days I do good to get a few bites in.  Maybe I will get a cake and everyone else can eat instead of me, No biggy we go out to eat all the time and I have to turn stuff down all the time.  For example we (the husband) decided to go to dairy queen! Tal about tough when everyone else is eatng ice cream and I have to sit it out! I am getting used to it because I have to sit it out all the time. So far I have only gotten sick once. I would like to keep from having that feeling again! That time I ate way to fast and to much...just one exra bite did me in.

I guess with this post and this time of year and the changes I have made I never realized just how much my life revolves around food. It seems everytime we get to gether as a family (all family in area) it is at a resturant and every celebration leads to a resturant.  I never realized before.

It is a learning process I guess.

Thanks!

Tonya,
I saw exactly that with my friends...we'd always meet in some bar or restaurant.  I've started suggesting parks and other outdoor things and so far, it has worked.  Now that it is hot, maybe not so much, but I'll keep trying. 

Grilling out at the lake or local park can be fun and different.  Try it.

Tonya,
Youre still sooooooooo early out! It does get a LOT easier on the eatin out part. But you are right - we dont realize how much ALL of our lives center around food until we have this surgery!  Seems like any time we have any kind of gatherine - thereis food involved!.  You will do fine, and the eatin out is much easier as you are further out.  I ordered a lot of 'cup of soup please' in my earlier post of days :)

Tonya, if I remember the right maker, Philsberry has a Splenda cake mix if ya'll want to bake a cake and they have Splenda icing too.

I agree though the Angel Food cake is easier.  Whatever you decide just take a bite if you need too so your babies can have some cake, then throw the thing away of they don't eat it all.  Keeping it around may cause you temptations you don't need after the family celebration.

have to agree with Dana - throw away what is left after they go to bed whatever you decide to do

and bruams has a no sugar added ice cream - they call it carb watch or something like that - I often get a kids scoop of that in a cup - you might see if DQ has something like that esp for the summer - and yes many many many times - to many to count - that one more bite has bitten me back with dumping

Shelly, aka Eggface, has a bunch 5 minute cakes she makes in a cup in the microwave.  They look good.   www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com
