Tortilla Pizza?



Recommended Posts

I am about 6 weeks out and I tried making pizza. I used a Flatout tortilla, pizza sauce, mozzarrella cheese, and pepperoni. I had 4 small bites and my sleeve fought me HARD. I think it was the tortilla because I have had all the other things without issue before. Anyone else have this kind of reaction?

Thanks!

yah it is best to eat the toppings for now. You will be able to incorporate the tortilla later on down the road. You will still need the tortilla as a base to keep everything together.

The first time I ate pizza I could only eat 3/4's of a square slice....then it got stuck and I puked. I thought "man I will NEVER eat pizza again" but then I tried it again tonight. I at the ultra thin crust, ate it really really slowly and chewed alot and could eat a slice. I feel pretty good, nothing is stuck and i'm not puking....so eventually you will be ok. OH YEAH. My pizza only had a tiny bit of cheese sauce and three mushrooms so nothing really heavy for toppings.

im almost 5 weeks out and i have been able to eat one slice of real pizza without problems...but i have a good receipe for a healthy alternative.

there are low carb tortillas that are garlic flavored...i found it at albertsons

spread butter on one side. put it in a frying pan, butter side down. spread a little tomatoe sause on (i used ragu sweet italian sausage style)

put your favorite toppings on...i put sliced olives, mushrooms, oven roasted chicken and shredded mild chedder on top. cook on medium high heat for about 2 minutes.

the tortilla crisps and you can cut it into 4 slices. have a slice and save the rest for later :)

i made one for myself because i was totally craving pizza but didnt want to pig out....my family smelt it cooking and they all wanted me to make them some. so i did...and my whole family LOVED it. (this includes a very picky 8 year old)

very tastey and low carb/calorie!

enjoy your pizza! hehe!

      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.
