Pre op liquid diet sucks so bad, especially when your boyfriend and his room mates are having pizza night. This is probably the hardest thing I've done.

Amiller10 I also had my surgery on the 16th. Basically everything you said is exactly how I am feeling. Good to know there are others going through similar experience. Good luck!!

You guys will think I'm nuts saying this...but I'm 3 weeks post op. I'm not hungry at all, but all the food on the commercials looks so good! I had to go into town last week to buy a pizza for my son and his girlfriend. So I went thru McDonald's and got a $1 cheeseburger, chewed it up and would spit it back out in the sack. It's not the food I want but the texture and the taste that I miss so much! I had to laugh and told my husband after I got home, that was the best $1.08 i've ever spent! HA! And I felt great knowing all I did was chew it and not actually ingest it!

Not nuts at all. ????. I might be doing crazier things at 3 weeks. I do miss the idea of food even though I am not hungry.

I am 4 weeks out. Crazy bed pizza too first thing I ate on pureed was a low fat mazzerella and Marinara sauce 1 egg omelet. It helped curb those cravings even though I could only eat half of it.

@@arigold I did not have a pre op liquid diet either (except for the day before surgery). I tried not to go crazy eating all my favorites before surgery, focused on cutting down my coffee consumption, getting lots of Water in, and eating smaller portions. I also had Protein shakes every day for Breakfast so I could find ones that I liked. Best of luck to you!!!

To the OP, I did not have that problem pre op, but post op I hid in my bedroom upstairs every night for 2 weeks while my family ate dinner! I haven't allowed real pizza in the house yet!

I too loved pizza before my sleeve. In fact we had quite a long, torrid romance! But after surgery I tried a lil hook up and it did not go so well. We had a fight, pizza won and we are now forever broke up. I can't tolerate his shenanigans anymore. Just know after your sleeve you may feel the same way and it may not be as hard to say no

All these ladies are correct! The desire and need does subside some after surgery. I love pizza! Still do! But all the bread hits me like a ton of bricks! I make my own version with a cheese crust and it's amazing and so satisfying! It's a hard thing to be left out but I promise, it gets easier.

That damn pizza....

This may be old news on this thread, but here are two recipes for no-carb pizza. Haven't tried them, but others say they're delicious!

Mix: 2 cups fine grated cauliflower, 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese, and 2 eggs. Mix and press in a parchment paper lined 10 inch. pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until brownish on top. Let stand for 10 min then add pizza toppings. Pop in the oven for another 5 or so min. until cheese bubbles. .

AND

Ugh. I can tell I've come a long way from my pre-op daily-pizza-eating ways when I can look at that picture and be disgusted by all the grease instead of wanting to eat it!

Can't wait to try those recipes! Thanks for posting!!

Yes I will definitely be trying these! Thanks!!
