As a former French fry lover, I've had about 10 of those little rascals after surgery and they were soooo not satisfying :D

Here's hoping! If I can get past my fries cravings I know I'll be alright.

I am three weeks post op and I crave pizza when I see it on tv. That ricotta bake mentioned above really does help satisfy Italian cravings (pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, etc).

Anyone add thinly sliced mushrooms and zucchini to this dish?

This recipe will change your life in terms of getting your pizza fix in, while going low-carb and Protein packed. I made this many time while I was pre-op and wanting pizza.

I haven't made it since surgery, but I also stuck to a very slow return to normal food. It will happen soon, though. I also highly recommend the Protein Pizza Crusts that @Uomograsso posted. Those have been a godsend!

Dang Dude...have you have lost 165 lbs since last July?? I hope some of this was pre surgery. That is incredible either way...Congrats!

Don't knock the cauliflower crust until you try it. I am also very picky and was hesitant in trying it. I tried getting the frozen cheese cauliflower crust pizza from Walmart and shredded up some turkey deli meat and added a little more cheese. I was only able to eat about half a piece 4 weeks post op but it was good!

I tried it and hated it

Well, happy to say 1 piece of pizza I can do. Minus the "pizza bone". But at least i can have most of a slice without much trouble. I am having an issue of right after I eat anything not soft, having a stuck feeling for a bit, but it eventually goes away.

Dang Dude...You are killing it! Down 64#s CONGRATS! I may have asked this before but that does include pre op diet I hope. I am down 25 lbs in about 6 weeks I am in the middle of 3rd stall. All have lasted 5 days or so.

You are looking at the days since surgery on my tracker, not the weight. I'm down 41lbs since the surgery on Jan 29th, and 80lbs overall since the start of this whole ordeal. The stalls suck! I was at one for a while at 343, and now i'm finally losing again at 337.

WOW! Awesome results! I'm 45lbs down from surgery. I walk 1.5 miles a day, but a bum knee keeps me from doing much more. You doing that all with the surgery, or are you a work out machine?

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
