Is pizza gone forever?

[NicVio 15]

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.

I have thus far avoided pizza becuase I am a real guts when it comes to it. I am not sure i would exercise that kind of control

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>

I can not eat pizza it's been 2 years with the band and that and Chinese food I can not eat....it hurts me but I do have to say if I take a bite of pizza and chew it up slow and I am talking small bite I can get it down, but most of the time no way

when my family orders pizza, i eat the crust off 1 slice and the cheese off 2 slices and that satisfies my craving!
