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

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
