Lets get real here.

[emmyg 13]

I'm 2 weeks out from my surgery.

WHEN CAN I EAT KRAFT MAC N cheese AGAIN?!?!?!?!

[abetterme4.2 268]

Mush it up and it on puréed stage.

But....I'm gonna sit back with my Protein shake and watch from afar....

[roundy 14]

I'm at the same point as you and had to watch my wife and son eat mac and cheese tonight! SO HARD! I feel your pain!

[indecision 863]

Aside from that stuff tasting like crap I would wait till about 4 weeks. Sorry I am a Mac and cheese snob as it is my favorite food in the world. I make my own different variations and would never touch the box stuff..

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

I'll get real and be the mean one. If I ate mac and cheese post op I wouldn't be as close as I am to my goal. It's taken soooo long to get where I am and I've stayed away from crap food.. Can't imagine where I'd be if I ate things like Mac n cheese. I'll treat myself to small delights after I get to goal, but I didn't get sleeved so I could eat like I did with my prior lifestyle.

In order to succeed .. I had to change my old eating habits to healthy ones. To answer you question.. in my opinion, when you hit goal.

Best of luck to you

That wasn't mean at all...and actually quite a bit nicer than what I was thinking, to be honest.

If you're only 2 weeks out and your most burning question is when you can eat the kinds of foods that made you have to have the surgery to begin with, that seems concerning. I would recommend seeing a therapist (I don't mean this in a rude way at all, promise!) to help tackle the reasons for wanting these kinds of foods and how you can work so that food isn't the center of the universe (I'm working on this myself now!) It's not easy, but super important.

Good luck!

Nothing wrong with being silly and laughing, I'm one of the worst offenders here.

Stick around (or search older threads) and you will find people asking what can they have and they're not joking - it's scary!

Fight the head hunger! I know it's hard to do, and easy to say, but you have to fight it.

I should. It sounds scary. I'm way to scared to do anything risky! This surgery means a lot to me and my future. It's just hard as $&&@!!!
