The world according to eggface, and Emilybites are 2 great websites/blogs that both have tons of recommendations & ideas on how to make WLS friendly versions of the foods that you remember loving.

Are you on Pinterest? I did 5 months of low carb before surgery and found some substitute recipes on there. There's a cauliflower crust (never tried), I found a pizza bake that uses cream cheese as the main ingredient (never tried), there was a calzone recipe that used a low carb tortilla (tried that one and it was amazing). Now that I'm finally out of purees I plan on trying more alternatives because I'm having major pizza cravings.

I would also recommend EggFace and Emily Bites because I did see pizza substitute recipes on both which sounded great. Also, EggFace's baked ricotta can help with pizza cravings too, or did for me. I just added a few "topping" ingredients to the recipe.

Good luck! Please share if you find anything tasty cuz I'm a pizza freak! lol

I use wonton wrappers, and most recently, flatout bread. My blog is FULL of recipes using both (and links to other blogs that do too). Last night was Taco pizza :)

Oh, I also saw something on pinterest about making a cheese taco shell. Put some shredded cheddar in a circle on wax paper and microwave it... low carb plus some Protein.< /p>

Recipegirl.com has the cauliflower crust recipe I think (search for this specifically: "Cauliflower Crust Hawaiian Pizza"). I've tried it and it was good.

Also from "yourlighterside.com" there is an "Easy Crispy pizza Crust" made out of minced chicken breast and cheese. I have yet to try this one as we've been using the cauliflower crust recipe. (But on this site I also found a "grilled steakhouse pizza" recipe and it was GOOD).

Tacos, I've seen the cheese theory as well. But that's it so far. emilybites.com has the wonton wrappers and has a taco cupcake recipe that would probably hit your craving mark for mexican. I haven't tried the taco cupcakes yet, but the cheeseburger ones and the lasagna ones are to die for. YUM.

Best to you!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
