[mrslopez 12]

Im 8.5 weeks out has anyone had thin crust pizza? ?? Im craving pizza but affraid to eat it.

Im scared it's going to make me gain weight even if i eat half a slice

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.

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 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.

Ive had the craving before but was able to resist

[mrslopez 12]

This time its rough and i want it!!! Thanks for the ideas im going to try the cauliflower recipes and the bagel one as well.. i havent eaten any bread since surgery so not sure how the bagel will do with me

I feel so bad wanting pizza!!!!

[DaisyAmy 561]

What about something like this?..

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

I've done califlower crust pizza and pizza on part of an English muffin. Also low carb tortilla as a crust. Wonton wrappers work great too.

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.

The ricotta bake is great. Everything but the crust.
