I have a huge weakness for pizza its a big thing for me as well. I did have the toppong off one medium slice not long ago...im 2 mos post op. I also eat the weigh watcher smart ones thin crust onky maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of it. Theyre very small but helps the craving of it... i kind of want to not eat it much tho because old habits die hard and id just prefer stay away from the eal deal as much as possible lol

I can now. I had surgery in Feb 2013. I tried just eating the toppings, since the crust would sit like lead in my belly, but now I've discovered thin crust. Tonight I had thin crust with spinach, Tomato, and onion. It's about 200 calories and 7 grams of Protein, so not the best choice to meet my protein requirements, but I sure do love it! I usually have it once a week, and I look forward to it. I also make sure I make good, high protein low calorie choices all day prior. Even with the pizza, I've stayed under 1400 calories. This is my maintenance goal.

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.

I've been drinking wine and gin-tonics starting at 2 months post-op (yeah I'm a bad boy). Haven't had any issues at all, other than a lower alcohol tolerance :)

I use a low carb tortilla with a smidge of pizza quick. Low fat mozzarella and turkey pepperoni. I blot any oil after I cook it and I can eat about 1/2 a small tortilla. Pizza to me ;)

@@itsmekarenlee --- I've had pizza toppings -- I just scrape it all off the crust. After being off processed carbs for so long, they don't even taste good to me anymore. But the toppings and cheese and pizza sauce... yum!

I've done all of the above.

Small slice of thin crust, just the toppings and making my own.

I like using Flatout low carb flatbread as a crust. They even have an Italian spiced one meant for pizza crust.

My surgery is December 1. ONE of my decision factors was that I have a friend who did the surgery 7 years ago.

Today he can eat ANYTHING he wants but in moderation. Yes, he will have pizza from time to time BUT he

typically has ONE piece and is satisfied.

What about some Pasta marinara? Pretty much the same? Being Italian, I may sink into a serious depression if I can't ever enjoy a small piece of pizza or a small plate of Pasta.< /p>

I had been wondering the same thing about pizza...if we can ever have. My friend is 4 months out, she has 1 slice. I then found all the Gastric Bypass recipes on pinterst. As others have commented, many do them on wonton wrappers or low carb torts. I'm still in pureed stage but once I get there, I know I'll use those alternatives

Had the bypass in March. Am having homemade pizza tonight. One slice is all I will have and then I will be full but soooo good.

I'm almost 2 years out, at goal. And I can eat a slice and a half. But I don't like the crust, so it probably equals one slice. No problem. So much easier to stop now.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
