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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
