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.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
