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:

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>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
