How long ya thin****il I can taste a bit of PIZZA?

So now I'm daydreaming.  I know, I know - dough -bad.  Fatty oily - Very bad. But one day. One shining day - I would love to have half a slice.  So when's that day for a December surgery? Mother's Day?  4th of July? When I've lost 50lbs? When I have the rest of the day cleared so I can dump in the bathroom? Sigh. 

Hey girlie..how r ya? hows it been going?...i dont wanna tellu to try this but i actually can stand half a slice or atleast the cheese and sauce..try that first just to get the taste in your mouth

Is it the dough you crave or the toppings?  I make pizza at least once per week.  I followed ideas from eggface.  She has probably 20 ideas on her blog. 

And like her, I use the Mission low carb whole wheat tortillas and put pizza toppings on top.  My favorite is a white pizza like I used to get when I lived in NYC.  But you can put anything on it.  Ground meat, veggies, cheese.  I can eat a half of a fajita size tortilla is it is loaded with stuff.  I did a ricotta cheese and artichoke hearts one once and was able to eat 3/4 out of it.    I usually use what ever left overs I have in my fridge.

Bake it in a hot oven for 10 minutes to get the tortilla crispy. 

Give it a try.  They are yummy!

Sounds good! I will try it. I crave the whole taste of it.  Nothing like New York pizza. thanks for sharing your recipe.

I've been able to tolerate it.  I try to eat only a slice or half a slice, and I try to eat the yummy toppings only.  Chew chew chew!  You can try a bite or two to see how it sits well.

I've found that if I indulged a craving - in moderation! - it really helps.  I used to have pizza once a week.  I find now that I may have a half a slice every two weeks or so and that's all I need.

South Beach Diet has a personal pizza (by all the frozen meals at the grocer) with 31 g of protein. I tried that for the first time yesterday, just ate 1/2.

I had a small slice of pizza on Friday night, didn't eat the crust, but ate everything else, and it sat fine, no sickies, no bloated feeling, no yucky feeling at all. 

I'm having my husband make me a "mock stromboli" tonight.  He is going to back the innards of a stromboli on a Pfaltzgraf plate for me (salami, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella, and a little sauce) and I'm going to just imagine the bread!  I used to have him make "mock pizza" for me the same way.  He would spread the sauce on an oven-safe plate and put cheese and toppings on and bake it.  You could eat it with a fork and it really felt like the bread was there.  You trick your mind with the other flavors.  Good luck!  I've been wondering if I could tolerate the crust too. 

You guys give me hope!  I'm not sure why we can tolerate crispy things and toast and wheat thins, but not a thin crisp pizza crust, but I think I will go for it one of these days.

At my first follow-up (at four weeks) the nutrionists and doctor said that I could try pizza but to absolutely avoid things like the pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, etc.  They are too salted, too high in fat and just plain not good.  Especially this early on.  They suggested a thin crust (to cut down on the carbs) and lots of veggies!  I think the issue with the regular crust, If I re-explain what they told us the right way.. lol... is that the regular crust is so "doughy".  That dough doesn't really break down well when we chew it so it goes into the pouch in a ball of sorts.  This can be difficult to digest.  The other problem is that the thick crust fills the pouch up way too fast and then we don't get in enough protein in that meal.  As we all know, that's bad!  lol

I had pizza this past weekend.  Our local store has a pizza that they put this really yummy seasoned chicken breast on with tomatoes, onions, green peppers.  (They also put on bacon but I have them remove that.  Had a bad episode earlier and I'm not ready to try again!  lol)  Anyhow.. I usually order it on their thin crust but have had the regular as well. 

Anyhow... give it a little try and see how the pizza sits for you.  Some restaurants are even offering a whole wheat crust now which would pack a little more fiber.  I've not tried it yet but it's on my list!

Good luck!
