Hello all, I'm 14 day out from surgery and I'm feeling better. But as I'm home waiting to be healed I keep seeing that PaPa john Pizza commercial. I'm not a big fan of Pizza hut or Dominos or papa Johns but that commercial is killing me. So how long till anyones had a slice? I know I won't eat a whole slice but how long till you can have it at all?

You have at least another 4 - 6 weeks before pizza..

I am 6 weeks out today and haven't tried pizza yet although I would love a slice. I am holding out a little longer. I already know I can't have a significant amount of bread or I get messed up so it will have to be a really thin crust if I am to eat any crust at all.

I was 3 months post before I had my first slice and then I would only do THIN crust. I have had regular but I still prefer thin crust now at almost 7 months post!

I was around 3 month post op when I had my first few bites of pizza. However, the greasiness of it made me feel sick so guess what - I haven't had any since. Good thing or bad? Well during my weight loss phase I guess its good. It was sad for me knowing this for awhile but I really don't even give pizza in particular a second thought anymore. That's not true for every comfort food though!

Note: My case is NOT common. I really don't even ever hear of others going through this, most sleevers eventually are able to eat anything. I have issues with anything with a lot of fat content or anything high in sugar.

I'm 6 weeks postop today too!! I had my first slice on Saturday, its was thin crust, mulit grain, cheese and tomato from UNO's..not greasy at all!! I ate it slow and when I felt the first full feeling I stop...I did okay with it..but won't be doing it regularly...

I'm 4 months out and I still can't eat pizza. I just eat the cheese and sauce off the crust. I think my issue is more with bread, I can't seem to digest it. But man do I miss it!

Good luck with eating pizza. I will almost guarantee you won't like it any longer. I'm almost 5 mos out and it tastes like ****. Let me say a lot of things that I would eat with a vengeance before now taste like ****. I love my sleeve! (that wasn't sarcasm, I'm so glad to be over that!)

I would be careful on what you guarantee! Remember we are all different and experience a lot of different thigns with our sleeves! I have NO Problem with pizza at all as long as I eat slow. If I allow myself to indulge I can eat two slices of thin crust pizza in about 30 mins!

As soon as I see the pizza commercials, I flip the channel. Out of sight, out of mind !

I was 3 months out before I tried it. When I did, I bought thin crust. My new family favorite though it making zucchini crust http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/zucchini-pizza-crust-recipe.html Sounds weird but it was really good, just like eating cheese haha.

When my family orders a pizza, I order or make my own but instead of using pizza dough, I use a low carb wheat wrap. The restaurant I order it from sells wrap so they make it for me.

Better to make it yourself. The website www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com had TONS of pizza recipes. She calls is Pizza Porn!!!

I am 7 months out and I have not had pizza yet, not because my stomach can't handle it,, but because I only want to put the most productive weight loss food in the sleeve!

I look at this way,, I did not go through this procedure to continue in my old bad habits and I want the weight loss to happen now, not later!

I had Pizza for my first time today. It's thin crust and I made then double cut it. I was only able to eat half if a regular slice of pizza. It was good.

I ate the toppings off last week :-D It was good. Who needs the crust anyway??? LOL

I love pizza, but I can't handle the bread nor the sauce, I do a low-carb pizza that uses cream cheese, half and half, and mozzerrella cheese as the crust, you mix those ingredients together, and then back that for a few minutes and then you add your toppings. It's really good, and you can find several recipes for it at foodnetwork.com. I'm not sure that once I have the sleeve, that I would be able to do it for quite a while. But, I'm sure for those craving pizza, this might be an alternative. The good news is that even tho you can only eat a few ounces of it, you can freeze it to last longer. try it, you'll like it.
