pizza 3 months out



Recommended Posts

So last night, my bf really wanted to order a pizza for delivery. I suggested Hawaiian style (ham and pineapple) on a crispy thin crust. He thought that sounded great. So when we sat down for dinner, I found that I got full after only ONE piece!! I was sooo happy!!

Normally, I could eat 4 or 5 slices of regular pizza. He took the rest to work today.

pizza isn't so bad for you if you only have one slice. Right now, I can only get a part of one slice down.

pizza is considered the healthiest junk food out there..When I was pregnant with my daughter the NUT told us at class that if your stuck for something good and healthy to eat...Eat Pizza....I followed her advice and still consider it a great choice over other fast foods......

And I eat it when I want! :)

I would say it can be a slippery slope and I would really encourage you to try to stick to healthier choices one slice leads to two one bad meal to another fast food meals three months out you can do this, I am presurgery I know that is going to be hard.... Is pizza really worth your new figure that you're getting

I recently grilled a bobli wheat crust with pesto feta and grilled chicken(mozz too) thru some pine nuts and basil on, one thin piece was my limit but it was soo good, and I was actually excited at the thought of WOW I'm totally not going to hog out on this.

Nothing wrong with having a slice of pizza once in a while. If I were to cut out EVERYTHING all the time I would probably fail. I believe that I have done pretty good at 6 months out and still having the things I enjoy every now and then. Just saying..

I was just thinking last night I'd like a slice of pizza.......but I'm 2 months out and struggling......think that will have to wait for a few months........that may be a slippery slope for me. :)

Darlin', when you've done weeks of nothing but yoghurt and Protein drinks, you will sell your kidney or the rights to your first unborn child for a mouthful of pizza.. In fact.. a mouthful of anything that has some taste to it. One piece of pizza is not going stop the world from spinning on its axis...

Yeah I don't really know what it will be like because I am presurgery but I think for me I'm better to try not to do that especially since I drive around all day for my job if I started going through one drive through it be real easy to go to another... I am sure I will have my slips But maybe will be at social situations or if I go out to eat at a restaurant versus just getting fast food or things like that when I could make a better choice at home.... This is not something that's easy for anybody so just good luck I hope you continue to have success :)

Sweetie...I can tell you are pre-op. I remember the days that I thought the same things and would never ever eat sugar or even pizza...This journey you are about to take is not one of those failed diets...It is a tool to teach you how to eat to live...Not live to eat....Neither is it to be treated like another failed diet......Like me and others who have gone through it you will have to deal with your head and learn how to control what got you where you are now.....

I believe and will always believe that every day failed diet is because we give up so much that we can't take it anymore...And so we fail again....This is a life change to change your life forever....A lot of work will go into this for the rest of your life.....I am not judging you, I understand completely why you feel the way you do...We all start off very zealous about the huge decision we made....But we have to be balanced and you too will learn that I promise!!! :)

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
