Interesting food reflection tonight...

So a friend of mine came over and we ordered a pizza..  a small 12"...

I ate one piece (triangle) and was stuffed!!! I almost started crying.. not because I was in pain, not because I ate too much, but because I was soooooo happy!

Previous to RNY WLS I we'd order a pizza for on a Friday night... and you know how it goes.. eat a couple of pieces.. then friends would go home and it sat there and stared at me.. so I'd eat another piece, then oh, I'll have one more.. all of the sudden I ate teh whole damn thing! 

Thank god for my new pouch! I thank god for the blessing every day.  I can't believe how well this works... to prevent me from eating another piece.. it's a freekin miracle. I can't even tell ya...

I am sitting here looking at this pizza in amazement that my stomach was so big I was able to chow this whole thing down once upon a time... AMAZING!!!

I love my RNY!

Did you have luck with the crust, or did you just eat the toppings?

Usually I just eat the toppings, because the crust fills me too quickly and there is absolutely NO benefit to me by eating the crust.

I used to just do the toppings, too - protein, a little tomato, bada bing, I was good.   Now I'll eat the crust -  don't need it, but I do enjoy it, and if I'm getting enough protein in otherwise, it's a treat!

Yup.  Unbelievable how much I used to put away.  Small Domino's Hawaiian, hand tossed - NO PROBLEM!!!  Last time I had pizza, I couldn't even finish 2 SQUARES!!

I love my RNY, too 

It was thin crust.. its the only kind of crust I like, and I had a little of the crust.. the outside crunchy part.. and then just the toppings...

I swear that any time we go out to eat I feel the EXACT same way!! 

We went out to Buffalo Wild Wings Friday night before grocery shopping and I ate almost half of my chicken wrap and sat there GRINNING like a freakin idiot because I had no desire whatsoever to eat the other half when, in the past, I'd sit there and stare at the other half longingly until I gave in.  I had the other half for lunch yesterday and it was still just as delicious!  I like that it's not "oh jeez I'm so full I can't eat another bite" but more along the lines of "huh.. I'm just not hungry enough to want to eat that" or "I know I won't enjoy it so I'll save it for another meal".  It's awesome.

I usually only eat the toppings off pizza if we have some and I can only eat the equivalent of 2 squares.  I like the nibble the hard crunchy ends for a little crust indulgence.

Thats exactly how I ate my pizza Anna! toppings then nibbled on the crunchy edge! yummy!

I've tried Domino's thin crust veggie and it was very good!  I only had 2 squares but that was enough. I might try canadian bacon next time for more protein.
