I ate pizza for the first time since surgery..mixed emotions..



Recommended Posts

ok everybody...here's what I tried today.....AWESOME!

3 slices of sandwich size pepperoni (sliced thin by the deli)

I nuked these for 30 seconds in the microwave (on a bed of paper towels)

(Most of the grease goes into the paper towels.)

topped each one with a few drops of Contadina pizza sauce (squeeze bottle) smeared around a bit

topped that with a couple Tablespoons low fat mozzerella (divided between all three)

Put back into the microwave for another 15-20 seconds until cheese is melted.

The pepperoni gets so crispy...yet has all sorts of flavor...NO SOGGY CRUST!

About 2 carbs total for all three (from the pizza sauce and cheese).

No idea of calories until I get back to the store and get the Nutritional info from the deli.

But this was great! 3 of them were a satisfying portion because it's crunchy, gooey, cheesy, salty, pizza, pepperoni flavor packed!!!!

Just reading that made me hungry for the first time since surgery. I will have to try that in a few weeks. YUMMY!

Tiff, pizza isn't my favorite food either, spaghetti and meat sauce is, but now i've found a new favorite, extra lean ground beef made into tiny tiny meatballs and brusselsprouts . . i love that now. . . I can have about 6 of those tiny meatballs = 4oz and 4 1/2 brusselsprouts. . . can't even finish that though. . . the sleeve is something else. . .

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
