When did you... .
Lots of people routinely eat full fat cheese after their RNYs as a way to get SOME fat into their diet to avoid dry skin, constipation, etc. I'm not saying that YOU should eat it, but just saying that it is not like regular cheese is forbidden or evil.

Pizza is not a big no no for me. I ate it last night for dinner, as a matter of fact. we actually need some fat in our diet. And there is nothing wrong with eating some bread now and then if you tolerate it.
Of course, you may choose not to eat pizza. But that doesn't mean it's a big no no for everyone.

I had some pizza toppings (NO crust) once I was 6 months out. I don't have any forbidden foods. Even at almost 6 years out, I eat two bites with crust and then just the toppings (with the excess fat blotted off with a paper towel).
Whether or not it is "ok" for you depends a lot on how far out from surgery you are, what your philosophy of eating is for your post-op life (can you handle eating occasional fatty foods in moderation or will they tempt you to overeat (and therefore you would be better off avoiding those foods?), and how committed you are to completely revamping your eating habits.

On a side note, I eat cheese everyday. I put it in my beans, meat, chicken... Well just about everything! I love cheese!
