I am in the mushy stage and want pizza sooooooo badly. Will I ever be able to eat it? And can I eat it in the mushy stage?

Definitely can't have it in the mushy stage. In fact you can't have it until you're back on normal food.

And yes, you will be able to have it again, but in moderation due to calories and fat. You could also make your own with whole grain crust, low calorie sauce, and low fat cheese at home. (once you're back on normal food)

I can eat pizza fine just have to take tiny bites and no big crust! the big difference is before I would eat 4 large pieces and now I can barely finish 2 pieces of a small pizza! But it is a nice once in awhile treat!

I agree with mis, don't start eating wrong foods right out if the gate.

Keep up the good work. Stay on mushy!!! And I am guessing one small slice with no crusty is a cup of food.< /p>

I had to have pizza as the prep for a recent medical test...I know, sounds like Sci Fi...

We got a very thin crust pizza, which was crispy. I tolerated it well, and had to remember to chew each bite to excess.

One strange series of events which I have noticed since getting my band, is that I no longer crave or even like some of the foods which I previously would have devoured...pizza and potato chips are 2 recent examples. I am proof that yes, you can eat one potato chip and not want more. :)

pizza is not a mushie! I do eat pizza as a treat on rare occation. Eat a low fat salad first and have one piece of pizza.

I've stopped eating it. It's not because I can't; its a trigger food for me. I just don't want 1 slice I want to go back to the old ways and have 3 slices plus garlic knots. So I've chosen not to eat it. I am really jonesing for a slice.

pizza is my nemesis!!! I could live on it!!!

Nowadays, I will eat 1 piece VERY, VERY slowly ~ thin crust, no meat, only veggies

Usually 1 piece will fill me up; occasionally I will eat 2 small ones.

Sure beats the 4 or 5 I used to wolf down on a regular basis!!!

If I had to completely remove pizza from my diet, I know I would not be successful. Moderation has been my saving grace these past 3 months.

Keep it up; you can do it!!!!

      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.
