For the love of pizza

So I'm 12 days post surgery and craving pizza, I know I'm at least 4 weeks till regular food, but it's the first real craving since the surgery. Any suggestions. I'm on the purée stage now

go to The World According to Eggface (a blog) and search for her Ricotta Bake.  Perfect for your stage, and has the flavors you crave.

Aww thanks for the shout out. 

I "googled" your Ricotta Bake and it showed up in the top three responses!!!

I second that.  I'm on soft foods, but I made the ricotta bake tonight and it was SO GOOD!!!!  Even my husband the world's pickiest eater loved it enough for 3 servings.  I can't wait until tomorrow morning when I get another serving for breakfast.

I can attest to this.  Four months out from RNY and I decided to eat half a piece of pizza.  Only half.  Took two bites of the crust and...violent vomiting happened.  Never again..live and learn, I guess.  

Baked Ricotta was one of the first things that helped me feel "normal" again. Warm, savory & satisfying.

The cravings are normal... try and stay out of your head. I mean, get busy... walk, movie, book, chat with family & friends, whatever.

Speedy healing! 

I'm almost 9 months out and have had three small pieces of pizza since last September.....don't do it.  The crust is a killer in the intestines.  What I do instead now is pizza sauce, cheese, and a couple of toppings.  You can puree that.

I also do spagetti sauce and meatballs or sausage with no pasta.  That can be pureed also.

Good luck!

Ricotta bake for the win. 

I've seen multiple posts on this, but decided to give it a try  a few days ago, and it was sooo easy and soooo yummy!  Just throw some grated cheese, about a small handful, maybe a 3" circle, on some parchment paper in the oven (I used my toaster oven) and cook till it bubbles & brown at edges (a couple min) let cool and wah-la', pizza crust, add your own toppings, and you are good to go.  I was surprised at how easy it was to pick up, like a cracker.

I even cheated more and peeled the top layer off one slice of my "boys" real pepperoni & mushroom pizza that we ordered in, and layed it on top of my cheese crusts and made two mini pizzas.  Both yummy & easy, makes it a really good option for me!
