There's a recipe for bariatric friendly pizza. The crust is made with chicken breast ground with cheese. I made it the other night and it was really good. The "crust" has a similar texture and a hand tossed, it's passable. The toppings are what I'm craving, just more flavorful things in general. So I put on peppers with turkey sweet Italian sausage. I'm 4 weeks out and could only eat about two square inches. But it was good! Hubby even ate it and said not bad. And pizza is his all time fav food.

well it depend on how far out you are. I eat pizza. I can eat maybe 3/4 of a slice but it is very satisfying

My craziest post--op reaction was that I actually ordered the pizza. Had one bite and put the rest in the freezer. I find myself still ordering quantities of food I can never eat and then hoarding it or giving it away. It's really crazy because I can never finish the leftovers. And my freezer is stuffed with leftovers I can barely identify. My dog is super happy though with his new menu.

I order pizza for my kids every week. Have picked off a couple pieces of chicken or pepperoni. Totally full and very happy I'm not eating 3 slices as I would have before surgery.

Last night, as a treat to my kids who both made A Honor Roll, I ordered pizza and a movie for them... I've been so good about resisting my natural urges to just eat whatever (I'm much more attentive to what I put in my body now).
As my boys dug in and enjoyed their ooey-gooey pizza, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I closed the door and cried because I couldn't have any pizza, and to me that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. I laugh about it now, but I was truly heartbroken last night. lol
So, what's your most ridiculous post-op overreaction? Anyone else ever cry over Pizza :-)

I've never cried over food. Seriously. I figured I have eaten enough food in my forty years for at least 3 "normal" people.

I did get real bitchy, though. Tired, cranky, I took things personally that I should not have, a total emotional roller coaster for a few months. It's hormonal. It's normal.

It's crappy but it's worth it.

I'm 2 weeks post op and already missing pizza. Figured when I'm ready for it a slice would be ok and get the job done. Your recipe sounds delicious I will def try it. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm 2 weeks out and having similar feelings. Stressed about yard work I can't really do right now. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
You can't have pizza after sleeve? Or you just choose not to? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I was walking through the food court the other day and there was such a variety of food... i saw this one dude scoffing down his noodles and i had a bit of a moment... thinking i will never be able to do that again... i did get quite emotional about it...
I kept looking around thinking that i wish i was one of those people who can enjoy food without it going straight to their hips.
I just look at food and gain 10 pounds!
I then snapped myself out of it and reminded myself that this dude might be enjoying his noodles, but i am in the process of extending my life... and that i will one day be able to have a little bit of noodles if i lose and maintain

Totally did. We were on our way to costco for my Protein powder and my husband says "I think I'll just pick up a pizza for me and the kids for dinner." I started bawling. costco pizza is my fav.

I'm sure most of us have cried over not being able to eat something- your reaction is totally normal. Also, the important part is that you didn't eat the pizza! Offhand, I think I may have done some crying about chocolate cake that I couldn't eat on my birthday the first year and there may have been 2-3 other times where I really wanted to enjoy something that my stomach wouldn't tolerate and I ended up sick and crying because I couldn't eat like a normal person.
I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I'm 3 months short of 3 years post-op and I don't cry over food anymore. I haven't had any sweets since January and it wasn't because I gave them up, I just have no real interest in eating them. I haven't had pizza in probably 2 years, not because I'm not allowed to eat it but just because I don't really care about it anymore. My friend made dinner tonight and sent me a picture. It was a decently healthy meal of steak, green Beans, and potatoes, and while I thought, hey that looks pretty good, unlike before I had no real urge to go make myself anything. Being thin and fitting into my clothing matters more to me than food. Also I was lucky in that I ended up with a stomach that hates oil, grease, butter, fat, and some forms of dairy, so after about a year of barfing all the time, I finally just stopped having any interest in eating junk.
Also, after surgery you are naturally more emotional. I cried because I thought I had ruined my life...turns out everything ended up being just fine.

I am scheduled for surgery on the 6th and I have been afraid to mow my lawn because what if I step in a hole and break my leg and then I cant have surgery lol

I went hysterical over the grass not being mowed a week after surgery. Like full on snot slobber crying.

I made my husband hide the scale! lol I found myself weighing myself every time I used the bathroom... I finally told my husband to put it somewhere I can't find it, so I could stop fretting over it! lol

That was a little rude. He was just making a comparison between the differences in the suggestions from different countries. I thought the point of BariatricPAL was to be supportive, not critical. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Enjoy the ride and feel the love[emoji4]

Congratulations! This is great to hear.

I was sleeved on 4/26/16. I had my 2 week post-op check up today and my surgeon is very pleased with my progress! When I started my pre-op diet I weighed in at 254lbs! The day of my surgery I was 241lbs...
Today I weighed in at a ridiculous 220lbs!!! I'm currently wearing a shirt that was previously form fitting/tight, and it's actually fitting the way it's supposed to be!
I'm in little to no pain, and I'm tolerating pureed food very well (just started purees today)! I'm feeling truly blessed in my recovery, and I have so many of my family and friends cheering me on and asking for updates! It makes me teary eyed to see how many people care about me and my health!
Ok, hormonal moment over! Thanks, y'all!
