1 Piece of Pizza Wonder!

[tattooedsuess]

I have to admit something that I've been harboring for a long time. When all of you say that you can only manage 1 piece of pizza I thought you were nuts in the head. I knew it was possible, due to restriction, but I could ALWAYS polish 2 pieces off no problem. That is until yesterday!

We went to a neighboring town for a bit yesterday and they have this new little family type restaurant that we wanted to try. We ordered a pizza for all of us to share, and hubby had gulped down 3 pieces to my one. I was so surprised to discover that after 1 piece I was stuffed! But this pizza was so cheesy and saucy that I believe that's what bulked it up (as opposed to like a Little Cesears pizza which is way skimpier)

So I just wanted to acknowledge that I can now understand how it's possible to eat only 1 piece of pizza, pregnancy and everything. LOL


Good for a Chuckle, ~Kelly

LOL...feels good doesn't it? When I think back to what I used to eat, I'm amazed. And I don't feel deprived now either. It's nice to eat and feel satisfied and not stuffed!

Ironically, I can't even in a whole piece of pizza, but I can eat a whole full-sized bag of microwave popcorn? Now what's up with that!

Yay for restriction! I actually can eat about 1/2 a piece and then the rest of the other halfs toppings!

I can't even eat one piece... nothing bread-like will go down and stay down at all.

I miss Pizza.

I remember once when my folks were visiting me in college (I was playing football). After the game, we went to Pizza hut for dinner (my choice).

They asked what I wanted (now, mind you I was 285lbs with a 36 waist at the time... a big dude), I said,
"An extra large pan with everything, salad bar, pitcher of root beer".

They said that would be good for them. I said,
"no, that's for me. Order what you want."

I ate that pizza, half of their medium pizza, 5 trips thru the salad bar (Big salads, mind you) and had a second pitcher of drink. Yeah... I always liked pizza.

Damn... I could eat back then. Even at 375, I couldn't eat like I did when I was playing ball in college.


I miss pizza sometimes.

For the longest time I tried and tried Pizza and could not get in down for the life of me.
But last week I did my grocery shopping and Bobali puts out a nice thin crust wheat Pizza crust. I was like HMMMMM let me try it. Mind you both my DH and I are banded I went home that night and I browned some onions and I put that on the bottom with sauce and of course the chees then I put some peperoni on top along with some oregeno. Cooked it for 10 mins and cut and served it to me and the hubby and the son. For the first time in almost a year I could actually eat a piece of Pizza. I was estatic no issues nada. and I believe I am definately at my sweet spot. DH believes that it is the wheat crust I like to believe that too because when it comes to bread I can not eat any white bread but I can get down wheat or rye go figure..

It makes me hurt to think of eating pizza! I sure do miss it though. I remember the week before I was banded I went and got a Large Thin Crust Cheese Lovers from Pizza Hut... I ate the whole thing myself.
