O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted July 23, 2012 The world according to eggface, and Emilybites are 2 great websites/blogs that both have tons of recommendations & ideas on how to make WLS friendly versions of the foods that you remember loving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keldolbeth 262 Posted July 24, 2012 Are you on Pinterest? I did 5 months of low carb before surgery and found some substitute recipes on there. There's a cauliflower crust (never tried), I found a pizza bake that uses cream cheese as the main ingredient (never tried), there was a calzone recipe that used a low carb tortilla (tried that one and it was amazing). Now that I'm finally out of purees I plan on trying more alternatives because I'm having major pizza cravings. I would also recommend EggFace and Emily Bites because I did see pizza substitute recipes on both which sounded great. Also, EggFace's baked ricotta can help with pizza cravings too, or did for me. I just added a few "topping" ingredients to the recipe. Good luck! Please share if you find anything tasty cuz I'm a pizza freak! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted July 24, 2012 I use wonton wrappers, and most recently, flatout bread. My blog is FULL of recipes using both (and links to other blogs that do too). Last night was Taco pizza http://gastricsleeve4me.blogspot.com/p/solid-food-stage.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keldolbeth 262 Posted July 24, 2012 Oh, I also saw something on pinterest about making a cheese taco shell. Put some shredded cheddar in a circle on wax paper and microwave it... low carb plus some Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4ALongerLife 329 Posted July 24, 2012 Recipegirl.com has the cauliflower crust recipe I think (search for this specifically: "Cauliflower Crust Hawaiian Pizza"). I've tried it and it was good. Also from "yourlighterside.com" there is an "Easy Crispy pizza Crust" made out of minced chicken breast and cheese. I have yet to try this one as we've been using the cauliflower crust recipe. (But on this site I also found a "grilled steakhouse pizza" recipe and it was GOOD). Tacos, I've seen the cheese theory as well. But that's it so far. emilybites.com has the wonton wrappers and has a taco cupcake recipe that would probably hit your craving mark for mexican. I haven't tried the taco cupcakes yet, but the cheeseburger ones and the lasagna ones are to die for. YUM. Best to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
