Feeling really stupid about my food choice?

[K-Lynn 8]

So my husband brought home a cowboy pizza from Papa Murphys. Oh, and he brought home one of those dessert pizzas too, lol. :-)

Normally on Friday or Saturday I do not "cheat" on my plan, I just will normally have some different food choices just so I don't get bored, but I don't be neglect my plan.

I figured since my husband brought home pizza I would give it a whirl. I probably had a quarter of the slice of pizza, rarely much at all. I am five and a half months out. I feel like I have just eaten a brick. I know that we're not supposed to eat doughy things 8 weeks after surgery. I know I've read that some people eat pizza now some people don't. However was that a stupid choice for me to have a little bit of pizza? I just decided to have something different tonight vs tomorrow since he brought it home tonight but wasn't thinking that it was a "do not eat" food.

I was only thinking the amount of what I was eating. But I feel like I've eaten 8 ounces of food and literally I probably had 3.5 or 4.

Thanks

Are you having a lot of troubles digesting it? Maybe next time just have the toppings. That's what I have been doing, since my tummy doesn't care for the crust. I just skim off the meat, cheese and veggies (no sauce, because it and I have agreed to disagree!!!). Nix the dessert pizza, tho! Not for me! If I'm going to do dessert, it is going to be something FANTASTIC, and that is something I'VE made! I mean, if I'm going to do it, it WILL be awesome - and just a bite!

Maybe it was just too heavy for you... Nothing stupid about it-- just information for you that your sleeve is clearly not a pizza fan!

I didn't see you say that your stomach reacted badly to the choice but your concern was more of a bad choice. I am 7 months post op and every 2 weeks have one slice of pizza . My tummy handles it well and I only make a choice like that once a week. To be honest once I increased my calorie intake to 1000 calories a day I was able to get pass a big stall. As long as you don't eat pizza every day you will be fine .

I've had pizza I think twice. It took like 6 hours or more to eat it and I didn't eat the crust. Tasted great and I don't guilt myself. Why? I can only take a few bites before I have to put it down anyway. Why stress the small stuff? In comparison the old me would have put away at LEAST 12 large pizzas in a year. 2 slices vs 12 large pizzas, what is that like 72 slices? In a year? Let it go, you're fine.

I have been able to eat pizza since I started solid food. I can comfortably eat one slice. This is a blessing and a curse! I make sure we don't get it very often because I don't want that one slice to increase to 2!

I eat pizza occasionally, but usually go for thin crust if possible. It's just not one of my favs after surgery since it sits kinda heavy.
