I am just a little over 2 weeks out and I have been doing well with fighting the cravings, but really sad about the things I did not eat before my surgery. I just want to know, will I ever be able to eat the things I love again, like will I be able to physically digest it? And this question is for people 2 months or more post-surgery. Will I ever get down a slice of pizza again, what about just the toppings, or a piece of fried chicken or fish, or a hamburger including the bun. I am not saying that I want to eat this things on a regular basis, I really have no desire to, but will I ever be able to eat it once in a blue moon?? Personal experiences are very helpful. Thanks.

I am 12 days post op and had a birthday party for my son.....I did well as I ordered soup from Panera to give me an option to eat but when I carried that pizza in my car all I could do was think of the pizza. Didn't touch it and had my soup with 1/2 scoop of unflavored unjury but wow was that pizza tempting. I am usuales a sweets person but even the cake didn't prompt such a strong craving.

Lol mmmm pizzzaaaaa.

I think we will be able to have a slice eventually. For now few bites. Not good for us but in moderation.

I had a small piece of pizza yesterday and I'm 7 weeks out. It did sit kinda heavy in my stomach. I was craving it and doc said it was ok. Now that I got that out of my system, I think I'll be able to leave it alone now.

I'm just shy of 8 weeks out, and I did this Friday night, and I agree. We had a pizza that was ordered with toppings easier on me (meatball, not pepperoni) and I had tiny bites of it, chewed well. It still made me feel crappy and gross, and I probably won't try it again for a while. However, it was a useful experiment. I'm finding in general that right now, I like my foods simpler and with more basic preparation.

I learned the same lesson, keep it simple and give it time. That's really the only craving that got to me. So far so good.

I am 5 mos out and can eat almost anything. I can eat a little slice of thin crust pizza. You'll find a few bites of your favs will satisfy you. Sweets don't even sound good to me now. I still love chip and dip. I eat like five chips and I'm done. It's so nice knowing you can't over indulge.

For everyone out there that cares to listen; please stop flirting with what brought you to this drastic decision to get surgery as a means to lose weight.

Right now you are not able to overindulge, and are probably still losing weight. That's very good but be informed, it will NOT be this way for very long. After a while, you will be able to eat more, and more often. And you WILL start to gain the weight back.

Remember, this surgery is not magic! You STILL have to follow a reasonable diet and exercise plan to keep it off. My recommendation is get used to the healthy foods and Snacks right now so when you're able to eat more it'll be healthier and less able to make you gain the weight back.

Good luck and may your journey be a pleasant and victorious one.

This is YOUR life, live it well.
