Is Pizza Band Friendly.



Recommended Posts

I make a pretty good veggie pizza. Was just curious if it can be tolerated. Thanks

I agree with Missy. Small bites and go slow.

I can eat all foods, some foods require more chewing and smaller bites.

Enjoy your pizza.

Vsries from person to person...I can no longer tolerate it...have not had pizza in over 2 years....

BTW, I used to eat an entire large Pizza all by myself....have the T-Shirts to prove it....now I cannot get through a single slice without problems....that is what the band has done for me....

I could not tolerate pizza when I was in the green. I COULD technically, but I never ate it slow enough or in small enough bites!

I will normally have two to three small bites slowly and then just eat the toppings.

In the good old days 6 to 8 pieces were the norm.

Even though I eat less I enjoy it more because It takes longer for me to finish the 4 small bites and the topping off one slice then it took me to eat the 8 pieces.

I have pizza, but try not to have the crust. I'm still on a more Protein based diet. I feel as though I've cheated because it taste so yummy but I didn't. :D

Like B-52 said, varies from person to person, and in my case day to day. Some days if I go slow enough I can get through a piece or two, other days it is a guaranteed clog. To the point now where it simply isn't worth the trouble.

I'm with Terry on this....not worth it for me. I COULD eat pizza I suppose, but rarely try it anymore. Certainly not something I miss.

EAT MORE FISH! :)

I have eaten pizza with no problems at all. But I decided it is not in my best interest to eat all of that dough as it kills my blood sugar.

I have found that I can eat a slice or two of pizza, if they are small. Small bites! However, the crust makes me feel miserable, so all I concentrate on is small bites of the pizza and toppings. I also have found that it has to be a thin crust slice.......I used to love sicillian pizza (Thick crust for those of you not from the northeast), but those days are long gone.

Lastly, I find that if I ask for extra sauce it makes it easier to handle.

I find that pizza is one of the few foods I can eat at the ballpark. Most everything else at a stadium is served on a roll and those are horrible to me now.

As others have already stated, just take your time and chew. I eat pizza every week. Love it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
