You can give RealGood pizza a try, It has a chicken crust and it's pretty yummy, especially the supreme. They are small 5" pizzas but are very filling, I usually only eat 1/4 or 1/2 but the whole thing has 50gm of Protein and only 8 carbs.

Where do you find those? I haven't seen any locally, but I really want to try them!

Their website has a locator feature. Kroger stores are the most prevalent, but I don't think you have any in the NE.

I think Baker's is a Kroger store, and we have one of those here. I'm going to track it down. :)

Kroger/Ralphs and the Vitamin Shoppe. Their website provides a list of stockists. If you have a large freezer you can place an order from them.

I look forward to the day I can make mine again using Carb Sense Tortillas. I'm assuming I will only be able to eat 1/4 of it.

Nuke 1 low carb flour tortilla on a paper towel for about 30 seconds. Keep nuking in 30 second intervals, turning over on the paper towel at each interval until tortilla is super crispy--about 1 minute 10 seconds in my microwave--but everyone is different.

Top with 1 slice of provolone, or grated mozz. Dot with pizza sauce (about 1/8 cup of super low carb marinara--I use Central Market Taste of Italy--it has the lowest carb/sugar count locally). Top with your fave toppings. Place under broiler in toaster oven and toaste for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melty and it's heated throughout. This is a "monster version" with everything on it and 2.5oz of mozza on it and regular pepperoni and Italian sausage. And I could barely eat 1/2 of the pizza (2 slices) even as a normie!

Fully Loaded Whole Pizza (pepperoni, Italian sausage, rbp, red onion) - 608 cals; 45g prot; 41g fat; 24g carb; 11g fib; 13g net carb; 3g sugar.

1/4 Fully Loaded Whole Pizza as above: 152 cals; 11.2g prot; 10.25g fat; 6g carbs; 2.75g fib; 3.25g net carbs; .75g sugar

It tastes so much like a cracker crust pizza!

Kroger has a whole family of names. I remember Albertsons and Fred Meyer are 2 of them.

Scroll down toward the bottom of the page and they have a listing of all the different store names that they operate under - it's hard to be far from one if you're in the USA. Albertsons is a different company and now owns all of the Safeway brands.

For pizza while I was losing, I usually used a thin corn tortilla crisped in the oven as a crust, then added the various toppings, usually a bit heavy on the meat side to keep the Protein balance up.

I'm sorry I was confused about the stores Rick M , I guess I've fallen behind on my grocery church attending. I haven't worshipped at Krogers for months now. Usally go to Wally World or IGA.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
