I know that you shouldn't eat it after surgery but I want to know if it can be eaten? I'm talking New York Style crust type pizza, I understand that thick doughy stuff is out but I'm just curious if anyone has had luck or trouble? Thanks.

I've ate pizza (I know I shouldn't have), for me it went down fine. The only thing I find hard to eat are pork chops, other than that I can eat anything.

When I get the urge for pizza (which is rare these days) I order thin crust. Never have a problem with it. Wound never even consider thick crust. Chicago style was always my favorite! Those days are over!

I tried and it was awful. It was new york style thin crust and I thought I chewed it well. A piece got stuck. I had that sliming going on in my mouth and the pain was unbelievable. I ended up tossing it up but it took awhile before it would come back up. Hope you have better luck.

I have no problem with thin crust pizza if I take my time and chew. Just be really careful about portion size. A New York Style slice (those big handful slices) is going to have an incredible amount of calories, so no way would I eat a whole piece even if I could get it down.

A large Hungry Howie's thin crust pepperoni pizza has 146 calories per slice. (124 if you skip the pepperoni).

I live in NY, so all I got is Ny pizza, well besides like pizza hut or something like that. I may have a slice every couple of weeks or so. I have no problem with it. But I have little fill. A woman in my office is banded and she says it gives her trouble. So I think it depends. I don't know where her fill level is at though

We have continued our Friday pizza tradition despite my band and I have no trouble at all. The only things to get stuck on me so far are pork chops.

As you continue to get fills you'll find many foods you once enjoyed - can't be enjoyed. They may be able to be eaten, but not always without consequence. Though I can eat pizza, I don't because while a tiny bite might be fine, it builds up.

And some days you'll have no issue with a food, then the next you can barely eat anything.

Every one is different and every fill will change what you can and can't eat.

I also loveeeeee pizza... but I seen a few recipes for pizza on here one that I tried that, you make you "base" out of ground chicken... yes!

I tried it unseasoned ground chicken.

4oz ground Chicken or Turkey...

Small non stick pan

Spray a lil EVOO on the pan

fill in the no stick pan with the ground Chicken/Turkey

slow cook (spinning so it wont stick)

Flip

add pizza sauce

a lil of your fav cheese

your fav toppings

(I sauté my veggies before so they can be softer)

then add a lil more cheese

Cover pan to let cheese melt

enjoy

I "CAN" and have eaten regular hand-tossed style pizza but it can be uncomfortable which takes the enjoyment out of it. I have no problem with thin/crispy type crust. Most times we buy whole wheat tortillas or flat bread and make our own using healthier ingredients; we prefer our own homemade pizza anyway. Before adding the toppings, I lightly spray both sides of the tortilla or flat bread with olive oil and it crisps up nicely rather than getting soggy, making it easy for me to digest.

I am not banded yet but I believe pizza will be on my no no list I looove pizza and I live in NYC. My problem with it is that it's a disposable food for me what I mean is I can inhale a slice in under minute just huge bite chew chew swallow it's a trigger food I will do better without it.
