I am just curious if any one of you have eaten any velveta cheese after your surgery? i asked my nutrionist what is the reason why a person is not suppose to eat velveta cheese. This is what she told me becasue of the fat content in the cheese. I told her that I have been eating(before surgery) light velveta cheese and it has only 3 fats per ounce. No different than some cheeses I eat now. I like velveta becasue it melts so much better in my scrambled eggs than some other cheeses I have used. Just the fact that I like velveta cheese the best. Now I only would use the velveta for on top of pizza in the my wonton crusts, whenever I get hungry for pizza. I would like to eat just an ounce here and there. But I am afraid to try it yet and was wondering if anyone has eaten it yet after surgery. I would like your opinion on why a person should not eat it.

i havent tried it at all. i used to eat velveeta shells and cheese like it was going outta style but post op it didnt even occur to me. i would say because its processed or "fake" cheese and it the stuff thats in it that makes it bad??? no idea. it might be real cheese for all i know. lol. im curious to hear everyone elses thoughts.

I forgot about Velveeta - I would just check the nut values and if it falls within your range, why not? Esp if you only eat an ounce here and there.

I have eaten it....just in moderation & don't make a habit of it...as with anything!!

I eat a little here and there.....too much makes me feel sluggish.

Funny, my doc never told me not to eat anything. Actually, he encourages me to eat anything that I want. (I am sure he doesn't mean ice cream, cookies, etc,) But he tells me not to deprive myself of anything, just only eat until I am satified.

Anyway, I made some homemade mac and cheese for my family last weekend and I used some Velveeta along with cheddar, monterey jack and mozerella. I had a bit of it and I was fine. Don't know why he doesn't want you having it. Hmmmmm
