I had pizza Saturday night, I did not take the toppings off the crust BUT I did cut it in very small pieces and it was a thin crust.

I have also one time had a small piece of very thin crust pizza; with no negative consequences. The toppings were all veggies...

Next week, as the prep for my HIDA scan, I am required to eat a "fatty greasy meal" the evening before...and the scheduler at the imaging center told me to have some pizza for dinner the night before the test, no matter that I have the band and am definitely not supposed to have those type foods.

Put in that language, pizza seems like the least appetizing meal in the world...so I will have the one required piece, and my husband with the 34" waist will happily have the rest...

Hmmm I need to plug in numbers but if I make my own sauce, have it on a tortilla or whole grain English Muffin, use reduced fat cheese and watch the toppings I bet it won't do too much damage.

I'm kind of having fun lately giving makeovers to things that we all like to eat. The best thing is I can actually get pretty much everyone to eat it too.

I have had pizza with no issues, but like several others I usually just eat the toppings if it is from a pizza place, My favorite pizza now is homemade using a Flatout bread for the crust, turkey pepperoni, some veggies and fat-free cheese. I get just as satisfied for about half the calories and a lot less fat.

I can share small, thin crust pizza with 2 friends. I eat it slowly, usually cutting it ro nibbly it. I stay away from pepperoni, or anyhting with too much on it. Never eat mushrooms, because they don't get mushy enough to go down. You will find, that you are a cheap date for dinner out!! Best of luck, Karen

Thanks for the encouragement that maybe sometime in the future, pizza can return to my plate. In the meantime, our old standby of what I call open faced pizza will have to do. Cook meat, add sauce and toppings and when they are soft put cheese in pan, cover until cheese melts.

I am concerned though.. no mushrooms? eeks, think i like those more than pizza!

If wr have pizza I jusy have the toppings... But I will say a friend and I took a whole wheat pita shell cut it fully open and put grilled chicken, veggies, and mozzerella cheesr on it and toasted them and I ate it! It took a little while but was delicious and half the calories of a pizza hut piece of pizza

I am making tortilla pizza for everyone tonight. Mine will be on a low carb tortilla with my own low carb sauce, fat free cheese and either ground turkey or turkey pepperoni, plus my onions and peppers. The others get sausage and reg. pizza sauce and cheese but this way we all get to eat the same thing at the same time.

Yes, I can! It has to be thin crust and well done though. I take my time and enjoy it thoroughly!

      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.
