I'm 9 weeks out and eating regular foods. Well, I should say that I am slowly adding in regular foods (haven't done raw veggies, Tomato sauce, nuts, etc. yet), but havent' had to many problems. I'm with my family on the beach and tonight they want to go to a pizza place for dinner on our way to an amusement park.

If you've had pizza, does the bread just fill you up immediately? I'm definitely sensitive to the breads. I'm toying w/ just bringing a Protein shake or bar so I don't have to stress.

Any thoughts or helpful hints on what I should eat?

Thanks!

Robin

you may have already gone. I hope it went well.

The bread fills me up. Early on, I only ate thin crust pizza. Now (at 8 months out) I can eat one and a half slices of regular crust or 2 slices of thin crust. I always pick the smallest slices.

Just scrape the gushy cheese and Tomato stuff off the pizza and don't worry with the crust. It works. I can eat several small thin crust pieces at 3 months out.

I am 3 months out and had pizza today for lunch. I can eat a small slice of thin crust but it fills me up too much and I find that I am hungry again within the next hour to hour and a half. I do have pizza once a month and just try to have some nuts on hand for the hungries after. So enjoy!

Almost 8 months out and I eat pizza once in a while. Our favorite is a local pizza shops thin crust with a fir amount - but not piled high - of toppings. I can eat one piece of a small pizza and I'm full, MAYBE 2 if the pieces are small, I used to scarf down 3/4 of a large all by myself and would want more but my wife already at the other 1/4!

Thanks, everyone! I had a slice of what they said was thin crust pizza (didn't seem so thin to me), and mainly ate the cheese and toppings from 1 slice w/ a few bites of the crust. I was fine until the crust started expanding and then I felt really full. I think pizza will be one of those once in a blue moon things until my body can handle bread better. I haven't done raw veggies yet, so salad wasn't an option.

I eat pizza pretty regularly. I can eat one piece and I am stuffed. One piece is definitely my limit, even at 2 + years out. Sometimes I can't even eat most of the crust, and sometimes I am able to eat most of one small slice of thin crust pizza.

I don't eat regular pizza. When I order pizza I order a personal pizza and ask them to make it on a wheat wrap.

You can also find TONS of recipes on www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. She even calls it "pizza porn" LOL

Good Luck.

I've had pizza here and there, and it doesn't taste as good as it used to. Just had part of a slice yesterday and ended up giving most of it to my dogs. Never in a million years had I thought I'd ever do that! bread doesn't taste as good either. Really haven't bothered with it since surgery. :P

      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.
