Craving Pizza? Low Carb Flatout Pizza

Pictures and nutritional facts at pizza for days. We used to get pizza once a week and although we got the “healthy” kind (thin crust, veggies, with half the cheese), it still wasn’t that good for us.

I’ve been thinking about how to recreate this and although I’ve seen lots of cauliflower crust, meat crust, ground chicken crust etc. recipes, they seemed a bit contrived. So I tried this with Flatout bread and it actually worked out very well. The nice thing about individual serving pizzas is that I was able to make one with just pepperoni and cheese for my son at the same time.

Makes 2 sleever servings, 1 serving for a non-op

Ingredients

  • 1 piece of Italian herb flatout bread (I got it at Tom Thumb but wal-mart carries it too)
  • 2 tbsp ready-made pizza sauce (you need so little it’s hardly worth making your own I think)
  • 10 slices pepperoni
  • 1/8 c diced onions
  • 1/8 c diced tomatoes
  • 1/8 c diced mushrooms
  • 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

You can substitute other toppings of course, but the nutritional info here is for the ingredients listed above

Method

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Place flatout bread directly onto the rack. Do not put on a cookie sheet
  3. Cook for 5 minutes. It will be fairly crisp by this point.
  4. Remove from oven, spread sauce and cheese, and spread toppings
  5. Carefully put it back into the oven, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the toppings appear wilted
  6. Cut into pieces and serve. I was only able to eat 1/2 of one.

Tell you what purée comes close to if. Try googling eggface ricotta bake. So good! And satisfied my "Italian" craving early on.

I make the same thing but use Hormel turkey pepperoni. You get 17 pieces for 70 calories and 9g of Protein :) I have a pizza stone, and heat it in the oven, then throw my flatout (I like the multigrain) on it for about 5 minutes. I pull it out, put my sauce and toppings on it, and bake it until the cheese is bubbly. It makes the crust super crispy! I can only eat half, but my kiddo is always happy to eat the other half as a snack. It's great and I don't have to feel guilty about it :)

I will take you up on that. I live in the south and all the food recipes from my NUT totally reflect that. I am Italian and I don't eat some over processed cheese spread....but ricotta is good any day!

Oh good! Here's another puree that I just loved. I made up the recipe but it worked out well.

      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
