Yummy Dinner!

I've been craving pizza. So, I bought a weigh****cher's 4 cheese pizza cooked it in the microwave, thought the crust was way to thick and bready, so I scraped the topping off with a knife and spread it on my Healthy Choice wheat crackers. It was delicious. Also, I am 8 weeks out as of Thursday (down 55 pounds), and finally starting to get a little energy back. I actually felt like taking a walk. I had the day off yesteday and didn't even take a nap and cleaned my house. I don't know if it's finally getting rid of the anesthesia, or healing or what but I'm feeling much, much better. Dianne

This sounds great -- I'm going to try it. Thanks for the tip. My surgery was April 7 and I'm down 44 pounds. So glad I did this!

Diane, I am 8 weeks out as well and I feel significantly better in terms of energy as well. I think it's the lingering anesthesia as you said! Also, we have Donato's pizza where I live - I'm not sure if you have it. But, they have a crustless cheese pizza which will cure the pizza craving in a heart beat! Try it if it's avail. Best of luck.

Thanks Tandi, we don't have that here, but when I go to Ohio to visit my sister I'll be sure to try it. Dianne

That sounds really good. I know that I keep craving pizza, never thought of making it with crackers. Thanks for the good idea. I am just about 8 weeks out and down 40 pounds. I find that I am now feeling pretty much back to normal. Getting more energy. I also attribute the energy to 40 less pounds. I find I have more energy now than before surgery. So I think being lighter definately helps. Sandy

we connoiseurs of food are well aware that any old pizza will just not DO! Now you went AND DID IT... you bought up Donatos!!! I love Donatos Pizza!! They're always coming up with something new and fresh. I went to school at Ohio State University. Love Donatos thin crust. Never tasted a match!

Just an FYI for ya'll...There are a few low carb brands of pizza on the market. Atkins, Blue Moon and one other. I have tried 2 of them and not been disappointed. Blue Moon I have in the freezer now and will give it a go next week. Pizza was one of my big cravings too... I am 7 weeks PO and haven't found anything yet my tummy coudn't handle, except sugary things. I am down 35 lbs...only 85 to go....WOOOHOOOO!!! Good Luck all and God Bless.
