Hello Bandsters... Quick question??? in a few weeks I will be attending a pizza party with my daughter. I was wondering is it ok to eat just the topping of pizza... no crust... no bread... Sausage & cheese pizza topping only. Thanks for any answers or suggestions.

I will have a slice every once in a while if my band will tolerate it. Sometimes when it's almost time for a fill, I can eat a few bites of a thin crust pizza, other times, I have just dabbed the excess grease off the top with a paper towel and had the cheese and toppings. I'm down 60 lbs since very end of feb.

i had pizza for the first time this past friday. i tried it in the past and it didnt agree with me. i made sure i ate very thin crust, cheese only and just one piece. had a salad with it. you just have to be careful. since you are newly banded, i would be very careful cause of the cheese.

It depends how much saline you have in your band - how tight you are. I don't have much restriction (5.5 ccs in 14 cc band) and can still eat pizza with no problems (even thick crust). I do eat way less than i used to - depending on the pizza i can comfortably have 1 slice, sometimes 2 (some times 1.5 slice) - it all depends. I used to eat a whole half of a large pizza so i'm doing a heck of a lot better these days. I've been losing great - and maybe have pizza on average 2-3 times a month.

Hey Allison... My name is Allyson as well... Lol. I have a 14cc band with no saline in it. I do feel fullness after I eat but no real redirection. I'm not even sure what restriction feels like but I haven't been starving n I'm satisfied when I eat my smaller portions now. When you say a slice, do uuu mean a triangular slice for example, pizza hut... Or a square piece like at home run inn pizza? Thanks to everyone for your comments. Truly appreciate any words of wisdom from my fellow bandsters.

Hi Allyson! growing up i always wanted my name spelled with a "Y" lol! anyway - on an extra large pizza - like pizza hut cut into triangles - i can usually just do one slice - maybe 1.5 - on a square pizza cut into squares (thick crust large - just cheese or xtra cheese) i can usually do 2 pieces - sometimes only 1.5. I think after my next fill beginning of november i likely will either not be able to eat thick crust at all or even if i can will only get down 1 slice. We will see. Best of luck to you!

Be careful of the cheese. It can get stuck very easily!

I had surgery over a year ago. I had my first pizza dinner (have had samples before at costco) last week. Had no trouble with the crust.

I eat thin crust & I can get it down & I am @ restriction.

For me its one of those iffy foods.... last night I made homeade pizza for my family ... ultra thin crust, cheese, sauce, sausage and pepperoni. I attempted to eat one slice. I cut it in half, checwed until pureed... and it still came back up. Other times... I have no issues. Go figure.

Second the fact that pizza cheese (especially inexpensive cheese) can get stuck easily!
