Hi all,

I am craving pizza! Has anyone found a pizza or crust that settles ok? Any help would be much appreciated!!

If you like mushrooms and can get them down, I made a pizza crust out of a large portabello mushroom cap. It satisfied my pizza craving. I also made pizza using whole wheat pita bread. It came out crispy (just shy of cracker like), and my son actually liked this one.

added pita bread pizza

Thanks for the input, this is my second day on this site and I am just scratching the surface. I love mushrooms and will definately try that!

Thanks again!

I got banded on 9/24/08, just one day before you slim-n-tn and I was wondering if you were eating that whole wheat pita and not having any trouble? I thought we were stillon the mushy phase and I haven't tried any kind of bread yet. I've been mostly having yogurt, oatmeal, over-cooked vegetables, creamed soups and my favorite - mashed potatoes!!

Try making tiny little mini pizzas on whole wheat crackers. Zap them under the broiler for a minute and viola! I do much better with crackers than I do with any kind of thick dough.

In addition to whole wheat pita, try for a thin crust with a tortilla or a "flat out" wrap. Sliced turkey pepperoni is really good (I think 10 slices has something like 40 calories and very little fat). With no fat pizza sauce (or marinara), mushrooms and low fat (or no fat cheese) you can have a great pizza like experience with very few calories and fat. Try light feta cheese and spinach for something different.

I have eaten the topping only from a slice of pizza. It tastes yummy and takes away the craving for a few weeks. Pizza is my favorite food, so I do eat the top off of a piece occasionally.

Love my band.
