I cant bring myself to eat pizza! I guess because I consider that a "trigger" food.... i dont want to get back in to my old habits. But it seems the dough wouldnt sit well with the pouch, not sure. Anxious to see responses here.

I have tried the Medit. Chix. Delite from Papa Murphy's. I tried to eat a slice (1/10 of it) and could barely get it all down. The crust really filled me up.

Otherwise, I have not ventured to try any other kind. I am 5 months out. Sorry...

So far I have only ate the toppings no crust but not sure if that's on a lists of approved foods ... It doesn't settle to well either. So I know probably should not eat it ( even just the toppings) that's why I was wondering if anyone could tolerate it and the opinions if we should eat it or not. I don't want this surgery not to successful

To fix my cravings, I do what Don does. I bake a pita until crispy and add some sauce with cheese and turkey pepporoni that I crisp in the microwave. I love it.

I don't think a small slice later on would hurt but I would only do something with a thin and crispy crust. Also, personally I would not do pepporoni out. I can eat sugar (Boooo!!!) but grease KILLS ME.

Have you tried the cauliflower crust pizza? It's surprisingly good.

How do you make this or where can you buy this ?

Kashi makes a really good pizza. 15 grams of Protein per slice. I can only have 1 small slice but it hit the spot.

I wish I could find this!

I make mine with 2 cups of cooked shredded cauliflower that has all the Water squeezed out of it. Mix with 2 cups of low fat cheddar cheese, 2 eggs, salt, pepper and oregano. Pat out into a very thin layer on a sprayed baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes until set. Let sit for another 10 before topping the pizza and sticking it under the broiler to melt the cheese. Just make sure your toppings are precooked.

You shred it first then cook it? How? Boil it?

I but it frozen then boil it. Then I pulse it in my food processor and squeeze the Water out in a clean kitchen towel. It turns a little pulpy.

Thanks.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
