I Cried Over Pizza Last Night...

[BJames42613 41]

Last night, as a treat to my kids who both made A Honor Roll, I ordered pizza and a movie for them... I've been so good about resisting my natural urges to just eat whatever (I'm much more attentive to what I put in my body now).

As my boys dug in and enjoyed their ooey-gooey pizza, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I closed the door and cried because I couldn't have any pizza, and to me that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. I laugh about it now, but I was truly heartbroken last night. lol

So, what's your most ridiculous post-op overreaction? Anyone else ever cry over Pizza :-)

I am scheduled for surgery on the 6th and I have been afraid to mow my lawn because what if I step in a hole and break my leg and then I cant have surgery lol

I'm sure most of us have cried over not being able to eat something- your reaction is totally normal. Also, the important part is that you didn't eat the pizza! Offhand, I think I may have done some crying about chocolate cake that I couldn't eat on my birthday the first year and there may have been 2-3 other times where I really wanted to enjoy something that my stomach wouldn't tolerate and I ended up sick and crying because I couldn't eat like a normal person.

I'm not sure if this helps at all, but I'm 3 months short of 3 years post-op and I don't cry over food anymore. I haven't had any sweets since January and it wasn't because I gave them up, I just have no real interest in eating them. I haven't had pizza in probably 2 years, not because I'm not allowed to eat it but just because I don't really care about it anymore. My friend made dinner tonight and sent me a picture. It was a decently healthy meal of steak, green Beans, and potatoes, and while I thought, hey that looks pretty good, unlike before I had no real urge to go make myself anything. Being thin and fitting into my clothing matters more to me than food. Also I was lucky in that I ended up with a stomach that hates oil, grease, butter, fat, and some forms of dairy, so after about a year of barfing all the time, I finally just stopped having any interest in eating junk.

Also, after surgery you are naturally more emotional. I cried because I thought I had ruined my life...turns out everything ended up being just fine.

Totally did. We were on our way to costco for my Protein powder and my husband says "I think I'll just pick up a pizza for me and the kids for dinner." I started bawling. costco pizza is my fav.

I was walking through the food court the other day and there was such a variety of food... i saw this one dude scoffing down his noodles and i had a bit of a moment... thinking i will never be able to do that again... i did get quite emotional about it...

I kept looking around thinking that i wish i was one of those people who can enjoy food without it going straight to their hips.

I just look at food and gain 10 pounds!

I then snapped myself out of it and reminded myself that this dude might be enjoying his noodles, but i am in the process of extending my life... and that i will one day be able to have a little bit of noodles if i lose and maintain

I'm 2 weeks out and having similar feelings. Stressed about yard work I can't really do right now.

You can't have pizza after sleeve? Or you just choose not to?

Yep. I had my surgery in Tijuana and recovered at my in-laws home in Los Angeles. My husband ate all his favorite things in front of me while I was stuck on liquids. I cried a lot the first week.

It's too early for me for grease and carbs in that quantity... I have friends that have had the sleeve and they're fine with eating pizza, and I have sleeved friends that have completely sworn off foods like that. It's up to you as an individual to make that decision. I ended up making a crustless pizza (Canadian bacon on the bottom, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pineapple).

I'm 2 weeks post op and already missing pizza. Figured when I'm ready for it a slice would be ok and get the job done. Your recipe sounds delicious I will def try it.

It definitely hit the spot and covered my craving for pizza! I LOVE Hawaiian pizza, so this was a pleasant substitute! Honestly, if you haven't used Pinterest to find post WLS recipes, you're missing out!

I've never cried over food. Seriously. I figured I have eaten enough food in my forty years for at least 3 "normal" people.

I did get real bitchy, though. Tired, cranky, I took things personally that I should not have, a total emotional roller coaster for a few months. It's hormonal. It's normal.

It's crappy but it's worth it.

[dmmjtj 15]

I order pizza for my kids every week. Have picked off a couple pieces of chicken or pepperoni. Totally full and very happy I'm not eating 3 slices as I would have before surgery.

[tobysgirl 58]

My craziest post--op reaction was that I actually ordered the pizza. Had one bite and put the rest in the freezer. I find myself still ordering quantities of food I can never eat and then hoarding it or giving it away. It's really crazy because I can never finish the leftovers. And my freezer is stuffed with leftovers I can barely identify. My dog is super happy though with his new menu.

[Sophie74656 1,572]

well it depend on how far out you are. I eat pizza. I can eat maybe 3/4 of a slice but it is very satisfying
