I also choose to stay away from old trigger foods and that is one of mine. White breads, Pasta, rice, and white flours make me sick. Also, I've had my first dumping experiences recently at 14 months out - one from higher sugar content on baked Beans and one from a fatty hotdog. I don't care to repeat them. I'm afraid to try any bread that may make me dump.

I've read that some people make pizza on low carb wraps, whole grain flat breads, and even on wonton wrappers. There is a recipe somewhere here for a cauliflower Pizza Crust that gets a lot of attention, though I never tried it. I make pizza stuffed zucchini that is delicious. That recipe is also from someone on this site.

I make an awesome pizza with a whole wheat low carb tortilla.. Turkey pepperoni and low fat mozz with a sprinkling of tastefully simple Italian garlic bread seasoning! So yummy!!! I do out a tsp of pizza sauce as well and sometimes add onions and peppers.. I can usually eat half a tortilla. I pop it in my toaster oven before adding toppings to crisp it a bit then add toppings and pop it back in until it's all melty.. Yum!

I have a slice of pizza now and then. HOWEVER- I have it because my "old brain", and my tastebuds remember how great it tastes. When it goes down, OMG it feels terrible! I dont dump on pizza, but its just this uncomfortable, crampy, YUCK feeling. Makes it a not-very-appealing craving anymore!!!

I feel the same way. On Saturday night I had this tiny slice of pizza and felt yucky and just didn't want to eat anymore. Instead I had more white wine lol. I know that's bad too!

I tried making cauliflower pizza this past weekend. It tasted fine, though I wish the cauliflower crust would have crisped up just a bit more. It didn't hold together, so I had to eat it with a fork.

re cauliflower base, maybe cook it abit before so it is semi cooked. cauli is mega expensive at the moment so it isnt on the menu lol

My brother has gastric bypass surgery 2 1/2 years ago he can eat anything just smaller portions. If he tries to eat alot he starts throwing up. He can even drink alcohol with no problems.

The recipe I found for cauliflower pizza said to precook the crust.

Yep, I did pre-cook the crust before putting the toppings on. The edges were crispy but the middle never crisped up. It tasted fine, I just had to eat it with a fork.

I've had pizza a couple of times since my surgery. I just make sure it's thin crust. I've also made tortilla pizzas in the past for "make your own pizza night" at my house, and everybody loves it. I haven't done that since my surgery, but just because I haven't had the time to prepare all the fixins. As thin as they are, I know I'd be okay with those as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
