When Did You Eat Pizza?



Recommended Posts

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. :)

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.

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!

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!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> 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.[/quote']

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.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
