Pizza ughhhh



Recommended Posts

Pre op liquid diet sucks so bad, especially when your boyfriend and his room mates are having pizza night. This is probably the hardest thing I've done.

If anyone in or even near my house had pizza during my pre-op diet, homicide might have been an issue! Congratulations on staying strong! You can do this.

OMG... I would have murdered my husband if he had pizza in the house on my pre-op. I couldn't even stand seeing commercials for pizza on TV, much less the smell of the real thing.

My class had pizza last Friday for our Valentine's party. I had promised them pizza before I got my surgery date and I couldn't go back on it. I was only ten days post- op and in the full liquid stage. It was pure torture.

Think of how fabulous you're going to look after your surgery and then tell yourself something nasty happened to that pizza lol.

A note for those of you who are pre-op or a few weeks post-op... I've lost my desire for pizza altogether now. My entire life, pizza was BY FAR my favorite food. I would literally eat it every day if I could (and for some periods of my life, I did!). It was the thing I was most desperate to have again once I was back on solid foods. Well, I tried it a few times and it does NOTHING for me now. I think a big part of it is that I can't eat much at all and pizza was definitely a binge food for me before. It's not as satisfying when you can only eat one piece or the toppings off two pieces. Plus, I know it doesn't give me the Protein I need and I'm all about protein first these days!

I feel your pain. pizza is my downfall too. I haven't started my pre op diet yet but I'm sure it will be a challenge. When is your surgery? Mine is scheduled for March 18? Stay strong. We got this!!!!

I just did my pre op diet last week and pizza was the only food I really really craved!!! Guess we all have that in common too.

You're lucky if not eating pizza is the hardest thing you've ever done.

Seriously.

Hi, my sleeve is scheduled for March 2 and my doctor does not require 2 week liquid diet. This seems uncommon, any thoughts? Thanks.

Every surgeon is different. Just be sure to follow YOUR surgeon's instructions.

Congratulations on your determination! The good news is that in a couple of weeks, skipping the pizza will be much easier. I've been to so many parties where I watched people eating pizza, wings, ice cream, and everything else you can think of. My trick? Planning!!! I drink a Protein shake on the way, bring along a big tumbler of Crystal Light iced tea, and have a bag of beef or turkey Jerky on hand in case of emergencies. Seriously, never allow lack of planning to derail your program. And good luck!!!

      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.
