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!!!!

      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.
