Birthday Cake
My birthday is slowly approaching? What cake ideas? Low fat/carb, even homemade? I have a no sugar handmade apple pie (made with splenda)...that's what I was thinking? Just something to put 1 candle into...

I'm thinking the same thing, birthday coming up for me too. I was going to try a tiny sliver of angel food cake with strawberries and no sugar vanilla ice cream, but no sugar apple pie sounds delish! You could also try a recipe for diabetic/no sugar cupcakes, that way you have a little individual portion to put a candle in :)
What about a panna cotta or custard in a pretty cup and stick a candle in it??
Here's a link to a blog that post a lot of WLS recipes

Surgery date is Oct. 17th, 2013 in Ottawa. I was referred to the clinic in September 2012. The person performing my surgery is Dr Amy Neville.
Thanks Ladies!!
The internal pie: is just 3 cups apples, with 1 cup of splenda brown and 1 cup and splenda white, 1 tbsp if flour and cinnamon to taste...the pie crust is made standard with no sugar (yes its made with lard, but I make crust thin and am only having 1/8 of the pie...its yummy (store bought shells can be purchased or you can make pie "topless" for less carbs)...BAKE at 350 for 1 hr or until golden.
