Pizza at 7 or 8 weeks?

[lostmykeysinspace 15]

I had my RNY on April 8 and everything has been going well. The only thing I've dumped on was a little bit of a chicken skin (and I think I may have been eating too fast at that dinner, it was our first time hosting a dinner since my surgery and I was excited!). Anyways, in a week or two, my work is having a pizza party, and I was wondering when other people found they could tolerate pizza. I don't want to dump or have to leave work early because I ate something I shouldn't have, but I'd also love to have half a slice if it's not going to bother me too much.

I'm also going to be sending my nutritionist this question, but I thought I'd check with some people's personal experience in this as well. (For the record, I am also absolutely fine bringing my lunch. I haven't had much in the way of cravings and don't feel the need to eat pizza if it won't sit well, it's more about participating in the group activity I think).

Eat it with a knife and fork, and just eat the cheese. You will be full after 2-3 bites anyway! LOL!!!

I ate cauliflower crust pizza at 8 weeks. Only 1 slice lol but it was yummy.

Only eat the toppings(veggies and protein) and cheese.

cheese and toppings like the others said and If you have not had any bread products yet, don’t try it for the first time outside of your home (But go with your nutritionists recommendations)

I have not had any bread products yet so if I do have some pizza, I'll stick with just the toppings. I've handled cheese, tomatoes, most meats, and veggies just fine so far!

I can eat pizza now (1-2 slices - I'm six years out), but that first year, I scraped the toppings off and only ate those. I just told people I was low-carbing, that's why I didn't eat the crust. No one cared. I was probably out about as far as you are now when I started doing that.

Same as jnfinney I had cauliflower pizza at two months and it was fine but I am not sure about the real crust. Have you had any sort of bread or tortillas yet?

[Orinskye 165]

I am about two months out and I just scrape the topping off and eat that.

I am a year out from my revision to RNY and can only eat half a slice. I ate a full slice once that sent me down for 2 hours🤢🙁. I do however make pizza bowls and they are delicious !!! ( all the toppings sauce and cheese oven baked)

Homemade pizza on whole wheat and only veggies, no sugar Tomato paste or sauce, with a reduced cheese may be ok since I made some, but the thing is you cant really eat much anyways but at least what you eat will be healthy and the family too!

That’s why I like to make the cauliflower crust one. I cut the crust when I get home from store into slices while it’s partially thawed and then I can make one slice at a time since I don’t cook for a family Hommemade version sounds yummy but I would waste all but one slice.

I Had a slice of pizza and was fine. Still on track losing weight.

I wouldn’t...avoid that stuff as long as possible.

Almost 9 months out and I can only eat a piece of small cheese pizza at this point. I have a really hard time with eating the crust. I usually eat about 1/2. I tried the cauliflower crust and still had a hard time digesting it for some reason. I didn't try to eat pizza until about my 3-4 months. All I could eat was a tiny bit of cheese and sauce. Good luck.
