Substitute for Pizza? Mac and Cheese?



Recommended Posts

I just tried Papa Murphys pizza today. I got the Delite thin crust, herb red sauce (no added sugar), spinach, chicken, mushrooms, and cheese. You take it home and bake it. I added a litle garlic Ms Dash. I had one piece and it was awesome. The crust cooks crispy so I had no problems. I was very satisfied with one piece.

It is like a subway for pizza! You pick what ever you want for your toppings.

Missy,

My doctor hasn't said I could eat anything other than my one meat and some greens, cabbage, green Beans, etc. and only one half cup of those. He has not told me anything about counting calories or Snacks or anything like that. Is this going to come later? One great thing is i have NEVER thrown up any of my food. I chew slowly and make it last.

One thing I was told regarding pizza...take a fork and scrape the toppings off the breaded crust. Eat only the pepperoni, cheese. I did this and it was GREAT!!! I had been craving pizza for days! I was told the crust of the pizza would swell up in my stomach and stretch it too much. So, now I just eat the cheese and pepperoni. Actually, thinking about it, those are REALLY the best parts of the pizza anyway. :lol:

Large portobello mushroom caps roasted and filled with marinara and what ever you like on a pizza. Then bake it. Do not have the mac n cheese' date=' but was happy to have the pizza lol. I can not handle this , but I seen a recipe that used a cooked chicken breast and topped with marinara and pizza fixings of your choice then re baked to melt cheese etc. It looked great and would satisfy if you can handle the chicken too. I myself would like a juicy mushroom cap. I like to get my recipe's from all recipes. com and then I alter them to fit my needs. I heard of the mushroom caps many of times. I just decided that I am going to try it, but it looks amazing. Let me know if you get mac n cheese. When you want that one you may need to make it more moist with just a few bites. I did find if you love ( I'm Italian) spagetti that by using spag squash for the noodle helps and I promise you will never know you have no noodles. My husband hates squash and he had it once and told me about it. I tried it and WOW it was amazing. Good luck.

My nutritionist has said that pizza is okay. The Papa Murphy's delite pizzas are fantastic. You just don't get half a pizza. 2-3 small squares are all I need. Regarding M&C' date=' Eat in small moderations. I have a spoonful or 2 when I make for my kids. All I need.[/quote']

I just discovered the DeLite pizza at Papa Murphys! It is awesome. Tuesday is $10 for a large with any amount of toppings. I have one slice and really enjoy it as the crust is crispy. My favorite is chicken, spinach, mushrooms, Tomato and sausage with the red herb sauce. The red herb sauce has no sugar added.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
