Is pizza gone forever?



Recommended Posts

I eat pizza maybe once every two weeks... I like it way 2much to give it up - I keep it thin crust or even the Boboli they have in supermarkets works well for me...

I guess each person is different. Not sure where u r from but most Pizza restaurants offer thin crust, try that if ur nervous about the dough... :thumbup:

Good Luck!!! :smile:

I ordered a small pizza because this thread made me hungry.

It lasted 4 full meals. (3 dinners and a breakfast)

The first time I had pizza after I was banded was a pretty bad episode, I have had thin crust twice since then and that worked pretty well. But I do try to stay away from foods like that I have only tried pizza three times in a year.

My LapBand rule? NOTHING is gone forever - you just re-learn how to eat, pay attention to what your body is telling you, respect the limitations of the band and live your life. Sure, I can't eat a full serving of some things...so? If I want some pizza, I'm having it.

Two years after surgery there are some days where I can eat most anything including pizza and ribs but most days these are a no-no. Breakfast time is usually a good indicator of how my day will go eating-wise.

Is it the crust that you have to avoid eating or the whole pizza? What if I eat the pizza but avoid the crust, will that help?

First pizza since being banded will be today!! I have had one fill 3 cc's in a 10cc band..so we will see how it goes. We have a brick oven in the back yard we cook EVERYTHING in it but the pizza that comes out of the wood fired brick oven is AMAZING. It's my daughters 19th birthday and she wanted pizza and a Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream birthday cake...so I may indulge today and back on track tomorrow!

That's the thing- you won't know until you get into it. Some people can eat all of the pizza (toppings, dough and crust) with no problems. Other people, such as myself, can only eat the toppings.

I ordered an extra large pizza on Friday afternoon. Had a slice when it arrived. Another slice Friday night. 2 slices on Saturday and just finished another slice.

Half of the pizza is gone and I may have to throw the other half out.

A year ago I would have finished that same pizza in one sitting and had a sandwich too.

If i treat myself to pizza I only eat the toppings off of 1.. maybe 2 pieces with a knife and fork and dip it into lots of Ranch Dressing. I want indulge myself, but I don't want it to hurt. This totally satisfies the craving!

It's either toppings only or I get a whole wheat crust. It seems to work better with the band for me. I slice of everything or two if I only eat toppings.

I also found these 280 calorie single serving pizzas with whole wheat crust that are great if you want to be sensible when you crave the pizza.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
