How far out did you have some?

I tried a Pinterest thing where you use the cheese to make a crust as you cook it. So I put some mozzarella cheese usually about 1 1/2 - 2 ounces in a 8" skillet on medium heat and then put pepperoni about 1/2 to 1 oz on it. Now that I can have veg, I plan to use mushroom. Then let it cook until it's melty and the bottom seems kind of solid when you lift up the edge with a spatula. Then I put it on a plate and the bottom gets more stiff after off the heat. Then I put some sauce on the top and cut it up. I'm only 2 months out so that portion fits right in my plan at the moment. I actually like it so I'll prob keep doing it that way and add a side salad once my portions get larger.

Around 3-4 months (can't remember it was so long ago). It was at my Doctor's son's 18th birthday party. Had the toppings off one piece. Had to save room for the cake and ice cream .

To this day, I still only ever eat the toppings. My dog gets the crust...he's lovin my sleeve!

You can also put pizza toppings in a Portobello mushroom and have a no carb version.

I have tried this and OMG delish! The mushroom is about 26 calories so once your cleared for full foods it is bariatric friendly and so good. I think I like it more than regular pizza!

I bought a slice of thin crust turkey sausage pizza from Whole Foods at about 3 months out when I was having cravings for it, but it took me three meals and a snack to complete it. In the past I could have two slices of it and a garlic knot in one sitting. Since scratching the itch, I haven't craved pizza since.

I've ordered a personnel flatbread twice in a restaurant and eaten half each time. Definitely filled my pizza craving. At home I've made them a few times on thin pita bread. Just top with tomato sauce veggies, pepperoni, and shredded cheese. I'm guessing maybe 400 calories for a whole one. Not a very well balanced protein - carb meal, but a pretty good choice for a once-a-month break from protein and green veggies.
