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.

Yesss I cannot tolerate pizza it doesn't go down to well with me. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I do miss it though:(

I can't eat it at all. I had 5mls of fluid in my band straight off though and now have 6mls and I've tried to eat it a couple times and it always gets stuck... Thick and thin crust. Sucks I know, I love pizza and the smell kills me

Well, everyone is different! My 1st ever case of getting stuck was pizza! It caused me to start sliming and then it wanted to come up. If you can make yourself take tiny bites,stop at 1 small slice, and have crispy crust, you might be bale to eat it after you heal. Right now, you are just in the dreaming about food stage. I watched every commercial on TV and drooled after my surgery. But remember, eating it, may have contributed to your weight problem. Best wishes, Karen

Sometimes if its thin and I can not have any toppings on it besides cheese and sauce. I also don't eat the crust.

Sometimes i can eat 1 piece most times 1/2.

I usually stay away from bread as a rule tho cause it's not my friend anymore.

Every "body" is different.

I am at good restriction so no pizza for me be because it will get stuck. Earlier before good restriction I probally could had some. But I am gonna tell you at my surgeon would tell me why are you having surgery if you aren't changing your ways. I have gave up lots of my and have found alternate likes or differerent variations. In doing this I have lost 75 lbs and still going. Good luck to you.

I can eat pizza if I get the thin crust from Dominos. It's so thin and crisp that it's almost like a cracker. If I eat the deep dish or regular crust. I get sick.

Ahh its torture' date=' 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. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> how's your recovery going?[/quote']

THIN crust

It's funny you said that about the cheese. I have thought that it was the cheese that made me sick. But I can eat regular cheese so I thought it was crazy that pizza cheese would do that.

It could also be the grease. I thought since I can't eat the crust, I would just eat the toppings, but that made me sick too!
