My pizza alternative



Recommended Posts

Used 1/2 cup 2% shredded mozzarella and cooked it in a nonstick pan until it was bubbly and crisp. I let it cool off then dabbed with Mystic Maid grease blotter. Put a tablespoon of lowfat Dolmio bolognese sauce and lowfat pesto on it. Sliced it up and ate like a mini pizza. Was delicious, had Protein, no carbs and satisfied my pizza craving!

Yum! Sounds delicious!

I love adding ham or prosciutto and refried Beans to my melted cheese mix, and I make it crunchy.

Pesto sounds great! Must buy some, as I used to love it in the past, and then forgot about it.

Now if only I could get the cheese bread here in Australia, I'd be in heaven :)

Carr Valley, come to Australia! I will sell your cheese bread and eat it :)

What's your melted cheese mix? I'm always looking for new ideas!

I'm finding I have a terrible time with Beans even six weeks after surgery. I've been mixing quorn mince with taco seasoning instead of using my beloved black or refried Beans.

I haven't bought mozzarella for a while. Thanks for reminding me.

I have been using regular cheddar cheese.

At times, I would add our Australian cruskits (healthy crisp-breads that were bought out by an American company), I would crumble them into the unmelted mix, shave my cheddar or use grated one. I then slice thinly ham, or bacon, or prosciutto, even smoked salmon at times.

Sprinkle more cheese on top, add bit of salt and cayenne pepper. And a splash of soy sauce.

I microwave the dish for about 2-3 minutes. At 2.5 mins, it comes out nice and crunchy

If I don't feel like cruskits, then I add all above sans crisp-breads, but I may also add cream cheese to the mix.

I used refried Beans on occasions, and they blended in nicely.

As for yourself, definitely avoid the refried Beans.< /p>

Maybe you can try them in the future.

Quite few foods that I couldn't tolerate earlier on, I am fine with at 8 months post op.

I haven't tried this yet. I think it's from pintrest. Using cupcake pan, place 2 slices Canadian bacon around the inside cup. Put whatever sauce you like inside. Top with your choice of toppings and bake.

It's a crust less pizza :)

I did the same thing last night-what a great alternative to the Friday night pizza that was in my kitchen!

        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
