    Cool Birthday dinner

    So my birthday will be during week 4 post-op (soft foods) and I'm looking for advice on either places to go or something good to have for my birthday dinner! Any suggestions?? What about a dessert in place of a birthday cake? Thanks in advance!!

    Last time we were in DFW we stayed in a swanky Fort Worth neighborhood, there were ghost house tours as I recall, and we ate at a restaurant in the Magnolia district. It was actually really good , I had polenta with a stewed pork dish. I think that would be soft enough for the food stage, but may be too heavy or spicy just coming out of liquid stage. You can always just ordered a steamed or baked sweet potato and some type of flaky fish.

    Happy early Birthday!

    Do you have to celebrate with food? Maybe go see a movie instead? Or go to an aquarium or something?

    Can you wait a month and celebrate then?

    I would postpone the birthday celebration and maybe celebrate your 1/2 birthday 6 months after the original date. Those first few weeks are critical for healing and if it isn't on the suggested food list given by your nutritionist I wouldn't have it. If you absolutely have to have something then go to Smoothie King and buy a pre-made smoothie.

    All such good tips. Why does eating have to be the focal point of everything??? Although we have surgery our mindset has to change. Easier said than done. I was just 162 at surgery. Would like to be 130. Can't get there by eating the wrong things. ��

    There's all kinds of ways to spend your day without it centering around food, cake and ice cream.....

    Play Mini golf, have a paint ball battle, go to a play or a movie or a museum, arrange a private painting, jewelry making, or pottery glazing class for you and your friends, go for a hike, go fishing. Blend your favorite protein shake with ice and eat it like a slushy if you've gotta have something sweet. Or mix cottage cheese with Muscle Milk cake batter protein powder....it tastes like cheesecake.

    I went through my liquid diet during Christmas, New Year, a funeral, 2 holiday parties, and a birthday party, so I learned real quick it's possible to celebrate anything with friends and family and NOT have to pig out on food.

    Four weeks post-op your stomach is not even close to healed yet. You'll be able to eat about 3 ounces of pretty soft food MAX for the whole meal.

    If you did choose dessert, you'd be able to eat about one bite of it.

    Finally here's a serious protip: Don't start eating sweets during your honeymoon period (first six months post-op), which will be your fastest weight-loss period. Sweets are a trigger food for many of us. And since you're already dreaming of sweets, I'm guessing they're one of your trigger foods.

    Happy birthday!
