Beat the Friday Pizza trigger once again

Well, I've managed to knock down another Friday. I don't know why, never mind, yes I do know why Friday is such a trigger day for me. It's probably the one day that I overate for sure. Friday always meant pizza for supper. It's the one food I love....and the crust is my fav!

Monday I will be 6 weeks post op. Any good advice for the next few weeks of starting some new foods??

Have a great weekend!!

That is too funny.  Every Friday I have the same trigger. We use to get pizza every Friday, in fact I can't deprive my family so I still get it.  I made the mistake after only one week of just taking a little bite, yeah that little bite got stuck!!  Two weeks later I tried it again and I was fine.  I dont know if that was a good thing or not.  Just one piece, not just the toppings, that's all I want.  Will it ever be okay?

I'm happy that I'm not alone in this darn pizza thing! I still let my family have their pizza too. Last night I went to pick it up-- it was torture being trapped in a mini van with 2 great smelling pizzas!!

I made a cauliflower crust pizza last night for myself. Just sauce and 2% cheese. It's not the same at all, but it helped.

It's the CRUST that holds the key to my heart!! Haha

my family ordered pizza last night so i started craving it and got all creative and made what i'm now calling pizza eggs. i used some egg beaters, mixed in basil, oregano, a little parsley, garlic powder and onion salt with some sliced up turkey pepperoni and some mixed italian cheeses and i'm not going to lie...it tasted damn good and helped the craving, at least for me

I'm laughing out loud because I actually ATE a piece of pizza (not much of the crust though - still can't do it) and part of a breadstick last night. You should have been witness to the mental gymnastics I put myself through before I finally decided it was okay.

And in answer to your question - yes, it will be okay to eat pizza again someday. I'm almost 2 1/2 years out and eat maybe a piece at the most (again, sans most crust) every once in a blue moon. I def couldn't have done it at 6 weeks out though, in fact I didn't even get started on solids until week 9, so I'm glad you didn't try it.

Soon it will be like all other foods and you'll get to decide what is right for you. You may be surprised that it doesn't hold the same appeal for you anymore. I used to eat it every week too, and probably ate 4 or 5 pieces in one shot. Doesn't happen that way anymore, and I usually don't even want it.

Good luck to you in your journey - and congrats on making it through another Friday. It's great that you recognize Fridays are probably going to be tough for you for a while. That's an important step in combatting all of the urges you will get for stuff you may not even consciously want.

 When you are allowed to go on reg food.. You can try the Digornio's 200 calorie  protions of frozen pizza.  It is the lowest carb/calorie one I have been able to find.  I don't care for pepporni so I just pick it off.  It certainly isn't a Papa John's pizza.. but it works for me!  I usually don't eat all the crust as one piece is usually to much for me to have at once.   But everyone is different!  I posted the link to the nutritional info.
