There is a huge difference between domino's (or the like) pizza, even thin crust, and a really good quality pizza. IMO if I'm going to eat something like pizza, it's going to be a whole wheat crust from a wood fired grill (thin crust because it's easier on your stomach). There are some things I am comfortable never eating again...like hot tamales but real food? My change is to make that "real food" healthy real food verses faster food which is loaded with sugar and fat.
The cheese quality between a chain joint and a real pizza is amazing. As is the sauce. Cheap sauces are made with sugar and more than you think, and gad the cheese...you have to blot the dang piece with a paper towel to get rid of the obvious grease...who wants to eat that????
I have had the toppings on good pizza since having the second surgery (that was at about 3 weeks out), but I skipped the crust. I am just now getting to a point where whole wheat Pasta goes down well, though it fills me up quickly. My second doc said to stay away from bread for three months, so that's what I'm doing. After having had a leak I don't want to risk damaging my tummy for a silly thick crust pizza!
I'd consider trying the toppings next month at the party, but that's it. You are still too early for real bread (or anything risen with yeast basically).

Congratulations! That is a wonderful milestone!

I am at 6 weeks also and just started to get about 800 cals a day. I was in a stall since week 3, and I exercise 5 days a week. So I finally upped the calories and started dropping weight again this past week, and I have much more energy .

You will follow your surgeon's guidelines the first couple months. After that, you will be experimenting with foods, but essentially will work up to 3 oz of Protein and 1/2 cup combined of veg, fruits, and starches.

After maybe a year or two you might have a slice of regular pizza.< br>

I've been having a bit of a problem with my main incision above my belly button. I'm four weeks out. It was fine the first few weeks then it started looking really red. I showed my mom (a nurse) and also my PCP, both said it wasn't anything to worry about and just use some neosporin.
A few days after that it started to get really red and painful and I could feel heat around the area (a big warning sign). I emailed my DR and CNP at 8pm and both responded almost immediately. They asked me to email them a picture. This was Thursday night and I had an appt scheduled today anyway. Dr said he couldn't tell from the pic. CNP thought it could be a reaction to the disolvable sutures but NOT an infection. She called me in an antibiotic the next morning and said she'd check it today. (Asked Dr and he agreed with that.) Between 4-5 days of oral antibiotics now and still using neosporin, the incision is looking MUCH better and they agreed today, told me to quit worrying!
Do you have the ability to email the DR and ask? Or maybe some neosporin would help. I'm a stomach sleeper so it helped if I put a band-aid on at night.

I was sleeved on the 8th also. Haven't had any issues...just a little sore. Was able to take my ppi with no issues. Going to try Jello this evening and can start my Protein Shakes tomorrow . Haven't been that hungry yet, plenty of energy, & haven't taken my pain meds since I got home.
