I'm 3 1/2 weeks post-op. My family is having pizza tonight. Do you think I could handle a thin crust slice of pizza? I've been able to tolerate crackers and the 100 calorie pack cookies. Could I handle pizza?

Hey, Jono and Jenin you took the words right out of my mouth! You should definately not be eating pizza three weeks out. If you must have a slice, wait until you have lost most of your weight and then and only then have it as an occasional treat. Susannah

Ask yourself why you would even WANT pizza? You didn't go through surgery to eat crap like that. Since I am going to eat only 2 ounces I want it to be the best for me. With 15 year old twins, pizza is part of my life. If they order in I use the chance to steam a nice Alasken crab leg for myself. At the parlor I order a fried chicken breast and remove all the skin and have it with a small salad. Once you get your mind around it....you would not want to pass up some delicious and healthful lean Protein for carbs and fat.

Just my thought ... but then again I have my problem foods as well

Depends on what is on your pizza.. If you make it yourself, it can be quite healthy. Carbs are necessary for optimal health and energy, just not to excess. My favorite is one with balsamic viniger, spinach, tiny bit of ricotta cheese, and shrimp.
