No, I don't hurt. I don't feel any restriction. Once in a while I will feel something if I don't chew real well. I guess I just feel guily eating the piece of pizza. My nutritionist says no bread at all.

ur nutritionist is CRAZY...everything in moderation i say...if you can handle bread..why not eat a piece? If you can handle pizza why not have ONE slice? good luck...don't feel guilty...you should reward yourself every now and then!

Hey bballmom

I eat pizza every once in a blue moon and I only eat one slice and usually throw away the crust (just to much for me). But don't feel bad remember the band is a tool and everything else is up to you. Just take it one day at a time.

Don't punish yourself for eat a slice of pizza. I have been banded for a year and a half and I still eat pizza ocassionally. Just remember not to force yourself to eat and exercise, whether it's a walk around the block or a jog. You will be alright and take your time that good restriction will come. Happy Easter!

My nutritionist said that it's okay to eat bread, try using low cab or wheat bread.And wheat crust pizza is delicious, even my teenage son enjoys eatting wheat crust pizza.

It's okay I had 1 slice yesterday. When I do eat pizza 1/2 to 1 slice is all I have.

theworldaccordingtoeggface: It's National pizza Week

I love pizza too but can only eat the topping. This website has some excellent pizza recipes that involve using whole wheat tortillas as the crust. So you can eat pizza without the guilt! I've tried a few of the recipes and they are extremely yummy. She also has a ton of other recipes that are really good, as well. Enjoy!

I eat Pappa Murphy's take and bake.

I order the Meditterainean chicken Delite

It is only 160 calories per slice.

Everything in moderation. I eat pizza once in awhile. Usually when I do eat it I eat the New York Style pizza ( I live in FL) with the extra thin crust. I eat very slow and chew very well. I have no issues in getting stuck. The main thing is that by me eating slow and chewing alot I am full faster and only need 1 slice.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
