Well, after 6 months of spartan dieting, (6 weeks of which is post op) I ate about 2/3 of a slice. Didn't eat all the crust but pretty much scraped it clean! :scared0: OMG!!! It was soooo good. But the best part was that I was full and satisfied with less than a full slice. In the past, I could easily munch down 1/2 pizza by myself. Sometimes, with wings and a salad.

And the scale even moved this morning...down another lb. It doesn't get any better than this!!! :bored0:

I love this post. I might have to print it and hang it up. Good for you georgie! I especially like the line "sometimes with wings and salad" sounds familiar... this gives me good hope too!

Well, the fact that pizza has tomato sauce on it also gave me a little worry. Prior to surgery I was having a little stomach trouble with red sauce. But it was fine! Still taking my nexium though. Not sure that it would have gone down so well without it. I also chewed it up really well...not my usual pizza inhalation of the past.

I love my sleeve!

I haven't had pizza yet, but your post made me want to make one some time this week. I'm actually gonna post a recipe for my favorite home-made thin crust pizza in the recipe forum, now that I'm thinking about it, so check it out.

I just made my own last week for my husband.. since we had a fresh basil plant. Mmm I used the fresh mozz. too and a little sauce. Really good and thin/crisp. I used a pillsbury pizza dough from the dairy aisle and it was okay. But I'll bet a homemade one is even better. Gonna check it out, thanks!

GG...

That's great! Someday I will try pizza, but not yet. Too early.

I had pizza 1 month out. I was able to eat half a slice and It almost got back. LOL. I think I will try in 2 or 3 months again.

I agree.. not a choice for me to be trying TOO early. Hey pizza really can be a healthy food if we made it ourselves with the thin crust and healthy olive oil, veggies, fresh part skim cheese, right? Like they do in Italy?

I wonder how many of the Angelo's "specials" my husband and I have ordered and demolished in our lifetimes. You know the type I'm talking about, right? Man... the thought of it now really makes me shake my head.
