I had pizza Saturday night, I did not take the toppings off the crust BUT I did cut it in very small pieces and it was a thin crust.

I have also one time had a small piece of very thin crust pizza; with no negative consequences. The toppings were all veggies...

Next week, as the prep for my HIDA scan, I am required to eat a "fatty greasy meal" the evening before...and the scheduler at the imaging center told me to have some pizza for dinner the night before the test, no matter that I have the band and am definitely not supposed to have those type foods.

Put in that language, pizza seems like the least appetizing meal in the world...so I will have the one required piece, and my husband with the 34" waist will happily have the rest...

Hmmm I need to plug in numbers but if I make my own sauce, have it on a tortilla or whole grain English Muffin, use reduced fat cheese and watch the toppings I bet it won't do too much damage.

I'm kind of having fun lately giving makeovers to things that we all like to eat. The best thing is I can actually get pretty much everyone to eat it too.

I have had pizza with no issues, but like several others I usually just eat the toppings if it is from a pizza place, My favorite pizza now is homemade using a Flatout bread for the crust, turkey pepperoni, some veggies and fat-free cheese. I get just as satisfied for about half the calories and a lot less fat.

I can share small, thin crust pizza with 2 friends. I eat it slowly, usually cutting it ro nibbly it. I stay away from pepperoni, or anyhting with too much on it. Never eat mushrooms, because they don't get mushy enough to go down. You will find, that you are a cheap date for dinner out!! Best of luck, Karen

Thanks for the encouragement that maybe sometime in the future, pizza can return to my plate. In the meantime, our old standby of what I call open faced pizza will have to do. Cook meat, add sauce and toppings and when they are soft put cheese in pan, cover until cheese melts.

I am concerned though.. no mushrooms? eeks, think i like those more than pizza!

If wr have pizza I jusy have the toppings... But I will say a friend and I took a whole wheat pita shell cut it fully open and put grilled chicken, veggies, and mozzerella cheesr on it and toasted them and I ate it! It took a little while but was delicious and half the calories of a pizza hut piece of pizza

I am making tortilla pizza for everyone tonight. Mine will be on a low carb tortilla with my own low carb sauce, fat free cheese and either ground turkey or turkey pepperoni, plus my onions and peppers. The others get sausage and reg. pizza sauce and cheese but this way we all get to eat the same thing at the same time.

Yes, I can! It has to be thin crust and well done though. I take my time and enjoy it thoroughly!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
