Pizza is it okay to eat the toppings??
Where are you in your plan?
If you're on solids, why not make a little pizza using a portobello mushroom for the bottom.
Use a tomato slice or lf sauce, some turkey pepperoni, chopped veggies and lf cheese. Be creative based on what you like. Allot of pizza joints saute the meats and veggies in oil. You can make better at home.
Pizza is a terrible temptation for me. I stay as far away from it as possible.

Lots of post-ops eat pizza that way. Some people limit fat (I don't, except how it contributes to overall calories for the day) & pizza toppings can be high-fat, so assuming it's in your food plan, and assuming you're in the regular food stage, enjoy!

Why feel guilty? Unless, of course, you are not at a point in your post op plan where you can eat more solid foods. Then, don't feel guilty, but be careful.
When the family wants pizza, I just eat the toppings. As I said in another comment, it can be kind of salty (the sauce) and I often end up retaining some water, but that's part of why we drink water, heh heh. I know a few low carbers who never had surgery who eat the topping when everybody else wants pizza. It's no big deal.

Stalling is not a good indicator of following or not following your plan. If you're tracking what you consume, you know whether you are or not. I don't have it often... just because I don't have any reason to order pizza... but if I'm somewhere that has pizza, you're damn right I eat the toppings off a slice. I don't care for the bread, but I love cheese & pepperoni. As a matter of fact, I keep pepperoni & cheese in my fridge for an occassional meal... so what's the difference? Savor & enjoy!
