Just had my first slice of pizza post op... It was thin crust and I ate everything but the crust and it was delicious! It was killing me that my family ordered pizza and I've been smelling it for the last hour, chugging crystal light trying to ignore the craving. I lost that battle but tomorrow is a new day, I'll start fresh in the morning

Oh, and I walked 10miles today at Disney so I feel like my little indulgence was well compensated for. Yeah?

Lilee, There's nothing wrong with one small slice of pizza sometimes. I have eaten pizza a couple of times and, just like you, I didn't eat the crust. Heck, I bought whole grain tortillas today with the express purpose of making a couple of "pizzas". You're not on a diet. This is for life, so LIVE. Yes, you're trying to lose weight; most of us are trying to lose weight. But, you should enjoy the journey, because this is the start of a whole new way of life. Once you're in maintenance you are not going to want to avoid everything food-wise. I think it's better to learn how to integrate the foods you love into your diet in a smart way now rather than try to learn yet another new way of eating once you get to maintenance.

Maybe I'm wrong, but, so far, it's been working for me. My weight loss has slowed down some, but it's still moving in the right direction.

I hope you enjoyed the heck out of that pizza! That's what you are supposed to do! Besides, I agree that, after walking 10 miles at Disney, you deserved that pizza.

Absolutely normal Enjoy your journey as Lissa said. We ALL surrender to our cravings every now and then but the key thing here is not to make a habit out of it .. and that's why we are all here now to break our bad food habits

Good luck

I <3 pizza. If I thought I would have had to give it up for life I never would have gotten this surgery. I went from being able to eat 3-4 slices of pizza in a sitting to only being able to eat one super super thin crust (so thin you basically need to fold it up or eat it with a fork because it won't hold up on its own!) without eating the outer edge. Sometimes a few hours later I can eat the topping off of another slice- but not always and not a full extra slice.
