This was delish!!! 1 head of cauliflower rices in a processor then cooked. Drain the Water from the cauliflower. Add 2 egg whites, low fat cheese and Italian seasonings. I used Pam cooking spray on my pizza stone. Spread out the cauliflower crust bake until golden brown. Remove from oven let cool add toppings and rebake! Enjoy!

I have to laugh when looking at my pizza though because I was only able to tolerate about 4 small bites lol... Also my toppings were apple chicken low fat low sodium sausage, Tomato, green pepper, garlic and cheese. My kids loved it... Hubby not so much a fan of cauliflower.

Both the cauliflower crust and pork rind crusts are good.. I personally use pork rind crust. Just google pork rind Pizza Crust. no carbs and everyone in my family loves it. It does not taste like Pork rinds (which I cant stand). Tastes just like pizza crust.

How do you feel about portabello mushrooms? I make stuffed portabellos using hot Italian Turkey sausage, a little sauteed green pepper and onion, no sugar added Pasta sause and mozzarella. Baked in the oven. I can't wait until I'm far enough along to have them again. Very easy for Portion Control.< /p>

That's a great idea! I think we did either a Weight Watchers or Clean Eating recipe that was basically pizza on a portabello. It was pretty good if I remember correctly.

If you can't quite manage the good ideas on this thread, I would suggest going with a super-thin crust, similar to the Papa Murphy's delite pizzas. Still white flour, and can't speak to ingredients, but at least you would be getting a lot less of it. My nutritionist said that I would need to largely avoid bread, but she said that something toasted and cracker-like would be fine if I was cautious with the portion. There definitely have to be solutions to getting the flavors that you love.

Best of luck!

I've seen the veggie packed pesto type options and I can't stand pesto lol but I love my red sauce, I do love a few choice veggies but I gotta have meat on my pizza!!! Thanks!!![/quote']

I like pizza Fit and Free www.pizzafree.com. Fat free and sugar free pizza. Single serving pizza ( about 7" across) has 248 calories, 14 G Protein .. There are 47 carbs, but no sugar. I haven't tried it post op, but it may be an option, they taste great and you can add whatever toppings you like.

Even if I make my own pizza sauce? Being a tomatoes and fresh herbs?! What about turkey pepperoni? Do they even make that!!

Yes!!! They make turkey pepperoni and sausage. We eat Kosher, so it's out there to find. Butterball makes the best turkey burgers by the way- we buy the plain seasoned ones and oh my, you'll never go back to regular burgers- my kids ask for those all the time.

They have corn Syrup in the sauce. In other words processed sugar by another name.

Anyhow...because I cant eat much I just put some sauce that I make myself in a small oven safe dish and put toppings & cheese on it and then stick it in the oven until its hot & melty. I try to make it small but it always ends up 2 servings.

Also I freeze most of my sauce in ice cubes trays and then keep the frozen cubes in a freezer bag. That way I can add 2 cubes to something easily.

It's so ghetto how they boldly proclaim "Sugar-Free!" but actually have corn Syrup in the sauce...talk about deceptive.

I enjoy the cauliflower crust pizza but my personal favorite is pizza sauce, cheese & turkey pepperoni on a portobello mushroom cap. A lot less work. I also make personal pizzas on a zucchini boat. :)

I tried the zucchini boat way but it turned out pretty squishy & messy. I cooked the zuc in the oven first then put the toppings and baked some more. Do you do yours differently?

I used to make the portobello pizza years ago, have to go get some of those.

So far I haven't been that satisfied with pizza toppings yet, just doesn't taste as good as they used to.

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
