  • Wonton wrappers with a little sauce, cheese and ground turkey pepperoni will give you the feeling of pizza without all the carbs. just a suggestion....

  • I have literally NEVER heard of that happening. Has anyone else ever heard of that? Honestly, that sounds like an old wives' tale -- or something he says to scare patients into not eating slid

I scrape off the toppings. It's not the same but lowers the carbs.

When I first ate pizza, I also ate only the toppings (meat lovers).

Protein is protein -- even if comes on the top of a pizza.

However, if pizza is a trigger food ... well, only you know how vulnerable you might be in that situation this early on in your weight loss phases. ;)

I ate the top of a piece and felt nauseous after. I had been craving it like mad, but no longer!!!

I made some mini pizzas with a half of an English muffin toasted in the toaster. Then add pizza sauce and shredded cheese on the top. Bake at 375 until cheese is melted. It's not like a good greasy piece of pizza but it helped my craving!

I'm still only on week 5 foods so no meat for me yet. But it was still delicious!

I had my first piece of pizza about 3 months post op. It was actually at a birthday party for my PCP's oldest son. Like others mentioned, I just ate the toppings. Even at 2 years out that's how I eat my pizza....toppings only.

I do toppings only at over two years out still. It satisfies the craving and bread doesn't sit well with me and I prefer to avoid it for nutritional reasons anyhow.

Or I do cauliflower crust pizza. Search for it here or on the Internet.

Turkey pepperoni, topped with a little sauce, cheese and whatnot? It might satisfy the craving without doing you in.

I feel so bad wanting pizza!!!!

Why? It is what it is and eating the toppings is a perfectly acceptable meal.....tomato sauce, spices, cheese, meat, veggies....all bariatric friendly things.

A bagel has WAY more empty calories and carbs than thin crust pizza dough.

If you're going to fornicate with slider foods, you should learn more about them.
