If you're gonna try it, THIN CRUST!!!

Normal crust is so hard on the stomach, or it is for me.

So this past weekend we had family over and we ordered pizza. We ordered thin crust veggie from papa johns and I ate one slice and was full. One slice does it for me and it went down much better than regular crust. So def give it a shot.

What about "thin crust?" does that go down easier for gastric patients ? Before my surgery that's what I liked vs the thick because it's crispy but was wondering if I'll ever be able to eat thin crust again???

I always eat thick crust. Only one piece, spread over a few hours. I can't do more. However, this past weekend I had thin crust for the first time since WLS (9 years ago). I was able to eat almost the entire piece and then a few hours later another.

I still prefer thick crust.

At at 21 months post vsg I had a kids gluten free pizza at my work the other day and it was great! I work in an all organic green and gluten free restaurant and decided on pizza. An hour later I checked my bs and it was at 82 after 3 small pieces. Being type one I was excited! It was yummy and thin crust with a crunch.

wow! where do you live that there is such a restaurant??? sounds awesome.

Since the surgery, I can't eat much pizza. I eat the toppings, any maybe a bit of the crust. It fills me up fast, and I am forced to eat very slowly and deliberately. It isn't a slider food, so I find I am satisfied with about 1/10th of what I could have eaten before surgery!!

Sadly I over ate pizza tonight :-( I had a whole piece of pizza and half of a bread stick from pizza hut, PLUS the toppings off of another piece of pizza. I was so uncomfortable for a few hours. It was the first time I really over ate. I ate too fast ;-( I hope I learned my lesson. I'm 7 weeks out Monday. Please don't chastise me. I know I did wrong and I am going to do my best NEVER to do it again.

No judging here. I KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS! I made homemade pizza on low carb flat out bread tonight. I really wanted Jets deep dish but oh well! We live and we learn. It's easy to go one bite too many, way too easy. But life is better with a tiny tummy. Im 10 weeks out and I'm still learning.

No chastising here! I had almost half a piece a couple days ago and I'm only 3.5 weeks out. I took the meat off because it was a bit too tough to eat. It's prob a big no no but I'm on soft foods.....pizza is soft right? Lol. I stopped before I hurt myself but it would have been very easy to keep on eating then feel awful or throw it up. I can't believe how easy it is to overeat!

I know! My doctor is always reminding me the the sleeve is only a tool and I still have to control my diet and exercise. I have fallen but I will get back up. Good luck to you :-)

My sister got a stuffed crust from pizza Hut, I didn't eat the pizza part just the crust. I could almost finish the crust and I was way too full. Before I could have easily had 3 pieces. Now with the sleeve it's an amazing difference when I see how much I eat now and how much I used to pile in my stomach. So grateful for this tool, now I just need to focus on staying away from the carbs and exercising. I'm still struggling drinking enough and get dehydrated way too much.

      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!!
