Pizza is my absolute drug and every time I see it I want it so bad. I am only 6 weeks out and it is impossible for me to eat. I wanted to ask you vets if you eat pizza and at what stage? I'm hoping at maybe 6 months I can try it. But I'm afraid to be in pain.

Wow, never heard of that I'd like the recipe please.

Recipe is above! Enjoy! I add a scoop of unflavored unjury protein to the cauliflower mixture before baking for extra protein other than the cheese its delishh

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.

have you tried any of the recipes on pinterest? all the pizza rest around here have it, and my H thinks they are all good ... but he is not picky about pizza. he will eat almost anything with lots of cheese on it! lol

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.
