pizza substitute?



Recommended Posts

What about the low carb tortillas as the crust? I have also seen a cauliflower crust recipe before. Worth a shot, right...

I really thought I was going to miss pizza and Pasta the most, but i find I don't have any cravings anymore. *knock on wood* When I was first banded and wanted to taste those things, I'd just eat a spoonful of Pasta Sauce.< /p>

I missed pizza at first, but just stayed away from it. At about 6 months out I made my own pizza.< /p>

Half slice of flat round multigrain bread toasted, then put on pizza sauce, FF feta cheese, turkey sausage, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, shredded Parma cheese and a little FF mozzarella with some seasonings (add veggies if u like) and bake for 16 minutes at 375.

Love it!

I don't do Pasta, not benefit and just filler now days!

Oooh how do you do the cauliflower crust? My nutritionist said no bread, tortillas under any circumstances, how well does bread digest for you? Thanx for the tips everyone!

I don't have it often, maybe once every 3 or so months, but I still have a slice once in awhile.

Granted this is my opinion, but I'm not on a diet I'm changing my lifestyle forever. Deprivation isn't part of it for me, so if I want a slice of pizza, I have it. I'm just careful to only have one and count the calories in my daily total.

The cauliflower crust is easy. You rice (shred) 2 cups of cauliflower and steam it in the microwave. Drain any remaining Water and pat dry. Then put 1 egg for every cup of cauliflower (if you use 3 cups for a bigger family dinner then use 3 eggs) and any seasonings. Put in a glass pan and cook on 375 for 10-12 minutes. The crust will be firm and act just like normal pizza crust. Then add your toppings and broil for 3-5 minutes to cook cheese.

This is a family favorite and once I am able to eat solid food again I will have it :)

I agree. Why eat a cauliflower based pizza? ! Oh ICK... Now, just have a slice, not a whole pizza. Figure it in to your daily menu before hand and you will have your pizza. You will find ONE slice is enough. That's the beauty of the band as a TOOL, you need never "diet" again.

I like to use half a piece of whole wheat pita. Just the half makes two meals for me. It's a very good multi grain and easier for me to digest then bread. You can top it any way you like.

I like to use a little grilled chicken, peppers, onions, and low fat mozzerella cheese. I'm not much of a marinara fan though so I use a teaspoon of BBQ Sauce or just a teaspoon oil and parmeson cheese in its place.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
