Is Pizza Band Friendly.



Recommended Posts

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

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!

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.

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 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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
