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.

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
