I used to eat 2 maybe 3 pieces of pieces and now I can maybe finish one and I am a year out. Also it's thin crust pizza.< /p>

Before maybe 3-4 now I'd be lucky to eat one.

Two years sleeved. From a medium sausage, onion and green pepper pizza from Little Ceasar's cut in eight pieces......I could eat four pre-op and 1.5 post op.

3 slices easily. Now I can barely finish 1 but I rarely have it. All that bread sin't worth it for me. I saw a recipe for a pizza crust using cauliflower I may try but, honestly I don't really crave pizza now.

Pre-op, I ate 3-4 slices (honestly, usually 4 slices) of thin crust pizza.

Now at 16 months post-op I can eat 2 slices of thin crust pizza. Believe me, I could not eat more than two slices now!

When I first started eating pizza (still during weight loss phases) I ate: (a) topping of one slice only, then (B) one slice) and eventually around 1 year post-op © two slices.

Pre-VSG, 3-4 slices. Now, I really haven't had any, except I have pulled the toppings off, and just didn't eat any crust. But if I did, I'd only get thin crust anyway.

Pre op I could get four slices of thick or hand tossed pizza.

Post op I didn't try pizza until I was at my maintenance weight (except for a few times just eating the toppings). Now I can eat one to two slices of thin crust only. One if its has lots of meats and veggies, two if it just has cheese.< /p>

Before surgery at least a 1/2 thin crust pizza. Could probably eat a whole smallish frozen one like California Kitchen.

Postop about 1/4 of the pizza toppings only. I might have a bite or two of crust but mostly just scrape the toppings off and eat those. My dogs love pizza crust!

kind of embarassed to say but pre op my husband and I would have no problem eating a whole large pizza between the two of us. 4 slices I could easily do. Now I am am 4 and a half ish months post op and can eat maybe half a slice if the crust is thin

No lie, pre-op, I could eat an entire pizza (and frequently did). When I didn't do that, I'd order 2-3 meals at a time from restaurants or fast food joints and eat it ALL.

Six months out, I can now comfortably eat 90% of one pizza slice. How times have changed!

I could also eat an entire pizza by myself and then some(either appetizers or desserts). It's embarrassing to think about how much I over ate. I'm only 5 days post-op, but can already tell you that will not happen ever again. I am using this tool to the fullest and not allowing myself back into such an unhealthy way of life!

Yeah, I too could kill a pie... A stuffed one at that. I'm on my liquid only 2 days before my surgery diet. I hope to never again be beyond the 1 slice threshold and I don't even want to think of pizza till this time next year.

I share the sentiments of many of you. To think... There was a time I could down a pie while chugging half a gallon of of diet iced tea.

This was long over due.

I typically ate one entire gluten free thin crust (medium) pizza each time I ordered. I'm just two weeks out and I don't know how much I will be able to (or even want to) eat once I'm on solid foods.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
