Pizza isn't mentioned specifically on my post op diet (probably cause its not exactly a health food) but I was just curious if/when some of you had a slice?

Ummmm....in the other post you are talking abt not losing fast enough? And now here you are asking about pizza?

I'm not trying to be critical, but did you get pre-op counseling? Do you have a NUT?

To answer your question: most people can't handle breads until 6 months or so For losing weight and working your program? That's up to you & your nutritionist.

Good luck

Hah! I promise I'm sticking to Protein shakes, yogurt and Soups. Not planning on eating pizza anytime soon. I was actually thinking about a nephew's birthday party next month. And no, I don't have a NUT. I went to Mexico for surgery and their post op diet isn't very clear. I get most of my info from this forum.

Very valid point and I probably would have been thinking the same.

Is Dr Hugh Babineau in Mexico? You have him listed on your profile.

This is probably still not for on the stage you are on, but I made this pre-VSG and it was quite good! It might be something for you to look at once you're in a regular food stage. Also I heard the cauliflower crust pizzas are good too, I am planning on trying once I get past soft stage into regular foods. Good luck.

Amazon- Guess I need to update the profile. I had planned to have the surgery with him until I found out my insurance wouldn't pay.

I had the cauliflower pizza crust when I was low carbing earlier this year. It's yummy! Thanks for the suggestion!

I am 3 months out and I can eat a small amount of just about anything, except bread....... And pizza dough and flour tortillas are the worse. Funny thing is a week after surgery I started having a craving for pizza, and I still can't have any.

thanks Lolly who was surgeon if I may ask?

I am five months out and pizza is a nightmare, I can handle some breads and pastas but it's a no go for me on pizza but really now, I look at all the grease and it honestly makes me sick.

Lolly,

Girl! There are sharks on these boards and when they see you talking about pizza, doritos, etc.. they smell the blood in the water and you are toast!! As for me, I had this surgery so I could live like a normal person, eating normal portions and end my dieting, food obsession nightmare. I am not living my life on protein shakes. That said, I still have to have a protein shake everyday to get all my protein in because I am only 2 months out. I am a lucky one who has a sleeve of steel and have only barfed once and I think I ate too fast and didn't chew well enough. I tolerate everything. I ate a very small piece of thin crust delight pizza from papa murphys at about 6 weeks. I was full. It was great, I used to eat 4-5 pieces to feel full before.

When my family gets pizza I eat the toppings off of a couple of slices. Delish!

I'm six weeks out and have had pizza several times. I try to not eat all of the crust or get thin crust but it goes down fine. I am lucky though, can tolerate most anything ... Enjoy!

While there are sharks on here, i'm NOT one. If people want to eat normal foods, that's their choice. I eat totally normally and don't even count my calories, just carbs. For me, this is a new lifestyle, not another crash diet. BUT, I had just read and responded to her other post about her feeling she wasn't losing fast enough. THAT's why I said what I did. Eating pizza a few weeks out isn't going to speed up someone's weight loss if that's their goal. And that's what I was pointing out.

Please, don't add me to the sharks around here. I am VERY careful to be nice, courteous and not judge people. I don't even come close to the nasty people around here and would cringe to be put in the shark tank. I'd get eaten alive.

To the OP: if you are going to your nephews party next month and having a piece of pizza won't send you down a slippery slope of wanting more carbs, then have a piece. Or just have the top. I will tell you that eating a new food post-sleeve at a get together may not be the best idea. If it doesn't agree with you.....uh oh!!

At about 2 months out (i'm 3 now) my NUT increased my calories to 1000-1200 but dropped my carbs to 20 or less. People on here cringe at that calorie amount, but I am not going to starve myself. I am very carb sensitive and that seems to be working for me. Since you don't have a NUT, i'd suggest that you play around with what works for you depending on how you feel & your weight loss.

Good luck & thanks for clearing up that you weren't planning on rushing out and eating a pizza at 3 weeks out, bcs that probably really would make you sick.

This looks GREAT!! Does the crust get hard at all? I'm trying to visualize it.
