Not going to be a habbit but when can I have some Pizza?

[Biiggmike23 1]

I am on day 15 and today I was craving some pizza so BAD.. I am going to try eggface take on pizza, but I was just wondering when any of you had pizza? I know I cant/wont eat a whole slice but just a bite or 2 is all I want..

And I know this is bad but I also want to know how long did you guys wait before eating anything fried? I have been very good with my diet but I ust want to know these things cause mentally I am at WAR with my MIND.. lol

I think it varies from person to person. I read a thread early out where a lot of people said they didn't tolerate pizza very well early out. So I waited a while. I just had my first pizza a few weeks ago at 4 months out, but I think I could have done it earlier. I would suggest probably waiting a month just to be safe to your new belly, but I doubt a bite will kill you. Hope that helps!!

I hear ya about pizza! I am now 7.5 months out, and I've been able to enjoy 3/4 of a slice of thin crust pizza once. I tried it, and it just didn't let very well. Good news is I did find a great substitute! I go to the deli and get turkey pepperoni (once I got regular, and it came out greasey. Layer it with a few paper towels when you cook it to absorb the grease. Your new tummy doesn't do well with grease.) cut semi thick, spread on a tsp of spaghetti sauce, some shredded cheese, and pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Heaven! Hope this helps!

I had pizza about a 3 weeks out...well, I had the top of the pizza anyway and a tiny small amount of the crust/bread part. It was all I could fit after the toppings. If you are going to, make sure you eat slow and have the cheese and Protein toppings first, see how that does then have a little of the bread if you still crave it. Just be careful and don't over do it, because like others have said, just because my stomach handled it fine doesn't mean yours will!! You will get full very fast even though your head says you want/need more. And try to really put in your mind it's a treat, even if you are eating it the "sleeve friendly" way. There are still better options, but sometimes we just need a little fix!

THaks guys I will try the Turkey pizza trick!

I gained a pound since 2 days ago and I cant understand how or why? Very upset and really regretting this surgery this morning, I am not eating anything and I am gaining weight? WEIRD!

I had my first few bites (1/2 slice) at about 3 months out. Gonna be honest I didn't really even like it. All the grease in it gave me the worst stomach ache I felt miserable. I haven't had pizza since and tho once in a blue moon I'll think about it - but that's the extent of it.

This pretty much goes for all over fat/greasy food. I'm not into it anymore. I'll get something very rarely just because my mind wants it but once I have it my stomach is like... YUCK!!! No Way!!!

Good luck!

Thats the thing with this surgery and weighing daily. I got caught up in that for the last few months but I had to stop. Our bodies will fluctuate up and down due to Water and nothing else. I'm going back to weekly weigh ins and if I'm still not happy I might just go to monthly. Especially as I edge nearer to my goal it's much more prevalent.

Pizza... I had it like 6 weeks out. I heard that pizza in the USA is quite thick and completely different from the original Italian one. Here we have it were thin and very... How to explain? Soft, like juicy, the thin bread of the pizza is soaked in liquid Tomato sauce, that's why it was so easy to eat and digest! Sometimes I eat it, I avoid the crust (which is thick) and get simple toppings like just mozzarella, or mushrooms (no weird things like salami, for example)...

It didn't hurt my diet nor my digestion...

Go for thin crust from Domino's when you think you can. The "slices" are basically 2.5"x2.5" squares and way lower carbs. Mmmmm, pineapple and Canadian bacon. Nom Nom Nom.

I wasn't suposed to have Tomato sauce until week 6 or later... now I make my own pizzas, using a split whole wheat pita bread, sauce, and a couple kinds of cheese... usually low fat is one of them. I may add some olives or veggie sausage....I had to skip the chili flakes, but now can have a little of them too. (14 weeks) Early on I ate recotta cheese topped with a tiny dab of tomato sauce and cheese as a pizza flavored treat....heated in the microwave.

On the website, www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com there is a whole section on low carb pizza's. I have made some of them and they are delicious. When my family eats their pizza, I make my own. The crust is low carb pita shells. I also buy turkey pepperoni. It comes in bag and they are tiny. Delicious.

I was at the beach and we went to a pizza place. I got one slice of white pizza with broccoli. I ate a couple bites of the pizza then just ate the broccoli and cheese off it. We were away so I allowed myself some. I am 4 months out

Why not try making pizza out of the oopsie bread. it it like 1 carb and has cream cheese and eggs in it.

Thanks for all the replies! I really appreciate it I am going to hold off as much as I can and then try the pizza eggface makes. I tried 2 supermarkets and they did not have turkey pepperoni..

Bigg Mike - you're still healing, and will be for about six weeks. Now is the time to change your relationship with food. Life changes. Your doctor gave you a tool, he did not "fix" you. You're in the honeymoon phase, this first six - twelve months you can be the most sucessful. I didn't have pizza or anything fried until I reached goal. I am very picky about every single thing I put into my mouth, unlike before, where I mindlessly ate. Now it has to be "worth" it, it has to count. I savor each and every bite. I can eat one small piece of pizza, thin. Never, EVER the greasy pan pizza. It's up to you what you do with this. A bite or two is a bite or two. Kind of like falling off the wagon. It's a slippery slope. You know that or you wouldn't be on here asking us. I'm 11 months out, reached goal at just under 5 months. Even now, four or five fries off my husband's plate is rare. I do not want to be a statistic or someone on here whining because they are gaining back some of their weight. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.....I promise you that!!!!

Thank you for you great response. It really helped so I have not given in and I found the turkey pepp. but it is like really spicy for me. So I might try an eggface pizza with gilled chicken or something, Hope it takes the crave away.
