First food challenge since surgery

Family is getting my favorite pizza for dinner tonight. I just have to enjoy my ricotta bake. Woohoo! 

Think about a back-up plan.  I still only have so much will power and if I am sitting there for a normal period of time looking a pizza - OK.  But if I'm looking at it for an hour - I have to move. 

Pizza is one of the last foods to lose its enchantment for me - it took a big clump of cheese sitting in my stomach all day - and I was over a year out.  I did not eat the crust, but even though I did not eat anywhere stretch my pouch, all that cheese was too much.

It was a new thing to focus more on the family and not the food.

PS - You may schedule a family activity - play baseball, go to a game, see a movie, so the entire night is not just about pizza.

It will all be worth it!  You got this!
