Is Pizza Band Friendly.

I make a pretty good veggie pizza. Was just curious if it can be tolerated. Thanks

    I can eat pizza without an issue. Just go slow to see how your band reacts. Chances are good that if you take tiny bites and chew it till mush, you'll be fine.

  • Vsries from person to person...I can no longer tolerate it...have not had Pizza in over 2 years.... BTW, I used to eat an entire large Pizza all by myself....have the T-Shirts to prove it....now I ca

  • I'm with Terry on this....not worth it for me. I COULD eat pizza I suppose, but rarely try it anymore. Certainly not something I miss. EAT MORE FISH!

I agree with Missy. Small bites and go slow.

I can eat all foods, some foods require more chewing and smaller bites.

Enjoy your pizza.

Vsries from person to person...I can no longer tolerate it...have not had Pizza in over 2 years....

BTW, I used to eat an entire large Pizza all by myself....have the T-Shirts to prove it....now I cannot get through a single slice without problems....that is what the band has done for me....

I could not tolerate pizza when I was in the green. I COULD technically, but I never ate it slow enough or in small enough bites!

dont see why not....any food is band friendly....although some have issues (not sure why)

but as mis and yellow rose said and i will say also, chew a lot, go slow and enjoy bella

I had a slice of thin crust chicken pizza today mmmm, like the others said slow , small bites and chew the heck out of it

I will normally have two to three small bites slowly and then just eat the toppings.

In the good old days 6 to 8 pieces were the norm.

Even though I eat less I enjoy it more because It takes longer for me to finish the 4 small bites and the topping off one slice then it took me to eat the 8 pieces.

I have pizza, but try not to have the crust. I'm still on a more protein based diet. I feel as though I've cheated because it taste so yummy but I didn't. :D

Like B-52 said, varies from person to person, and in my case day to day. Some days if I go slow enough I can get through a piece or two, other days it is a guaranteed clog. To the point now where it simply isn't worth the trouble.

EAT MORE FISH! :)

I have eaten pizza with no problems at all. But I decided it is not in my best interest to eat all of that dough as it kills my blood sugar.

I have found that I can eat a slice or two of pizza, if they are small. Small bites! However, the crust makes me feel miserable, so all I concentrate on is small bites of the pizza and toppings. I also have found that it has to be a thin crust slice.......I used to love sicillian pizza (Thick crust for those of you not from the northeast), but those days are long gone.

Lastly, I find that if I ask for extra sauce it makes it easier to handle.

I find that pizza is one of the few foods I can eat at the ballpark. Most everything else at a stadium is served on a roll and those are horrible to me now.

As others have already stated, just take your time and chew. I eat pizza every week. Love it.

Pizza and bread on pizza shop subs are my absolute weakness.

Coach, I can't do the sub shop subs....the rolls simply don't agree with me. I miss having a nice sandwich once in a while.
