con con 142 Posted June 14, 2016 5 months for me but I can only have a tiny slice so it really isn't worth it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaydi.Laine 237 Posted June 14, 2016 I skip the crust entirely. I had my first pizza at about 9 weeks out, but went with toppings only. The crust is really unimportant and takes up valuable space you need for the nurtrient richer tasty stuff! I ate the toppings off of one and half slices of pepperoni, mushroom, onion, and hamburger with extra cheese. It was awesome awesome and I even dropped a pound the day after Had I eaten the crust, I probably would have stalled or gained. My friend ate the rest of the pizza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 14, 2016 You can also put pizza toppings in a Portobello mushroom and have a no carb version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaydi.Laine 237 Posted June 14, 2016 You can also put pizza toppings in a Portobello mushroom and have a no carb version. Sounds delish, just note that shrooms (veggies) do have carbs. Better carbs than crust, but still carbs I make such a mess with my pizza toppings that it doesn't matter if the shrooms are on the top or the bottom LOL. It all goes in the same place!

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 14, 2016 I make my own pizza with either fat head crust or flatout wraps. pizza isn't really my thing but I try to have it every now and then to add variety to my food choices so I don't get bored. I use turkey pepperoni, and chicken Italian sausages. I also use a low carb pizza sauce. http://mycadia.com/product.php?p=Food&c=Staples&s=25276#!/197442 http://www.flatoutbread.com/products/flatout-wraps/flatout-proteinup/low-carb-flatbreadcore-12/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm sure I've posted this elsewhere but here 'tis again... For a 'healthier' alternative, us the type of base that @@OutsideMatchInside mentions, or simply a wholegrain tortilla... Add some lite cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and a sprinkle of bitey Pecorino Romano... Dry fry the bottom in a frypan then slip under the grill to brown the cheese... It aint real pizza... But it aint real bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDave 1,115 Posted June 14, 2016 I've seen a cauliflower crust recipe a few times online. Haven't tried it though. I'm sure a google search would find it. To answer the question, I didn't eat pizza for a year. It was my goal to not have any cheat foods for 1 year, mostly just to prove to myself that I could do it. I had a small slice twice since then, both times when I was on vacation in Vegas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCs 1000 364 Posted June 14, 2016 @@SuperDave Wow. I manage to only have cheat food once every 4 weeks or so (none before 4 months post op) and I thought I was doing well. 1 yr is awesome! I will tell myself if you had PMS every 28 days you may not have achieved it Great work . Oh, and even though I live 8000 miles away, even I know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

cindyw41 761 Posted June 14, 2016 I'm a toppings only too. There's no way I could finish a slice of pizza if I ate the crust too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah - sorry about that! I am allowed any veggies just not simple carbs so I never consider them as carbs. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankyG 1,450 Posted June 14, 2016 I use a low carb tortilla and make bar pizza in a cast Iron skillet. LOVE this recipe (below) and once you get the technique down, it tastes like a lovely crisp thin crust pizza and I can usually eat two pieces, so I get two meals out of it - which is super as I loved cold leftover pizza just as much as fresh! I use a low carb spaghetti sauce, but only about one tablespoon because I don't like lots of sauce anyway and they tend to have lots of hidden sugar in them. I tend to either make my own, or get something like Aldi's organic line marinara as it is much lower carb than most. We top them with things like roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, turkey pepperoni, black olives, fresh basil and spinach and lots of mozzarella. http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/10/cast-iron-skillet-tortilla-pizza-bar-pie-food-lab.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
becomingmandikaye 262 Posted June 14, 2016 There's a chicken crust pizza recipe floating around out there that sounds interesting to me. I'm sure it can't take the place of real pizza, but it'll be chock full of protein! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
