So, I'm only day 5 post op, but pizza is my favorite food ever! And I realize it is not good for you and I by no means plan to eat it very often once I'm allowed to start eating solid foods, but has anyone had any trouble eating pizza with their band? I've heard that breads and pastas can be hard for people with bands to eat, so I'm wondering if this includes pizza? I hope not, lol.

This post got me to re-read your topic. I thought your surgeon was allowing you to eat pizza post-op. I was going to say LuckyGirl. Actually I haven't thought what I can eat in the future so I dont really know, I think I saw some that say they do but I think I also read on the internet, no pizza because of the dough.

I eat crisp crust pizza with no problem. Bread that is doughy almost always causes a problem unless you bite off extremely tiny pieces and chew, chew, chew. Same with pasta. Hope that helps.

I order pizza about once a month for my kids and I've never had a problem eating it. I usually have one piece of pizza and a small breadstick.

But again, it's only once a month if even that often

See, everyone is different. I can't eat it. Hopeit works for you!

Oops, I probably could've been more clear yeah that's what I'm seeing. I guess it just depends on the person :/

Oh really? I hope it works for me too!

I know a coworker with the band and she has issues with the crust. She can eat the topping, and maybe 2 bites of the crust. I prefer a softer crust so I'm planning on it being a issue.

Omg I loveeee pizza too I'm five days post op too and yesterday my family made pizza and the smell and the look of the golden cheese was torture I hope I can eat a tiny bit sometime and a bit of pasta as I love pasta too!

Ahh its torture, isn't it? My family had pizza tonight...it's no fun. Me too! I will have to make it happen once and a while. I can't imagine never eating pizza or pasta again. how's your recovery going?

Nice! That's good to hear

No one loves pizza more than me. I am at restriction and eat pizza maybe once a year. More about the calories than not being able to eat it. I try to have a small low cal salad first and then one piece of pizza. I also try to have chicken breast as a topping to get some protein in.

I had pizza for the first time and I must say I wasn't with it at all but I gave it a try and it didn't give me any problems!! If your going to eat it make sure you eat it very slow and try a thin pizza something that's not heavy b/c when it's heavy it won't go down atleast that's wat I think
