I Cried Over Pizza Last Night...

There's a recipe for bariatric friendly pizza. The crust is made with chicken breast ground with cheese. I made it the other night and it was really good. The "crust" has a similar texture and a hand tossed, it's passable. The toppings are what I'm craving, just more flavorful things in general. So I put on peppers with turkey sweet Italian sausage. I'm 4 weeks out and could only eat about two square inches. But it was good! Hubby even ate it and said not bad. And pizza is his all time fav food.

Last night, as a treat to my kids who both made A Honor Roll, I ordered pizza and a movie for them... I've been so good about resisting my natural urges to just eat whatever (I'm much more attentive to what I put in my body now).

As my boys dug in and enjoyed their ooey-gooey pizza, I had to excuse myself to the bathroom. I closed the door and cried because I couldn't have any pizza, and to me that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. I laugh about it now, but I was truly heartbroken last night. lol

So, what's your most ridiculous post-op overreaction? Anyone else ever cry over Pizza :-)

My post-op crying jag was about feeling like a real failure to have to remove most of my stomach to lose weight. By the time I lost the first 50 pounds, I was over it.

I have never given up pizza. I just don't order it anymore. We make it here with the cauliflower crust. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/232930/cauliflower-pizza-crust/

That way I can totally control the ingredients. Just had some over the weekend loaded with veggies and a bit of cheese. I found that what I missed the most from take-out food was the sugar, salt, and grease. I had to learn what real food tastes like.
