THE KFC MASHPOTATO BOWL..IS IT A GOOD THING??
I am going to try very hard here to be charitable. Are you even being followed by a dietician? Did they give you a diet plan? NO WAY IN HELL is this on my eating plan at just three weeks out (heck, not EVER). At three weeks out I am going to go to puree/soft/mush foods that are HIGH in protien like beans, cottage cheese, ricotta, flakey fish etc.
My goal, NO FAST FOOD for the first six months.

To believe otherwise would be to believe that you were a total idiot. So I was being gracious by believing you were kidding rather than believing you were an idiot.
To be frank, only a complete idiot would eat a KFC bowl less than 3 weeks post-op (and you did say you'd already had one, loved it and wanted to try another and that it was easy on your pouch).
Noone is perfect by any means. But there is perfect, then there is mostly compliant with mistakes here and there, then there is "why did that person even have surgery". And you were posting about your "stall" a little bit ago on here. Gee... now I wonder why?
Since you are on OH, you OBVIOUSLY have internet access and the mental capacity to find this website. Since you have internet access and the mental capacity to find this website, I assume you can also find www.KFC.com and click on nutrition, etc to get the nutrition facts of the KFC bowls.
If you are unable to do this, go to your local library and ask a librarian to help you look up books on post-op nutrition (or even basic nutrition). Learn about it.
ALSO, GET TO A NUTRITIONIST OR DIETICIAN ASAP. Your life depends on it.
It is hard for me to believe ANYONE with a sound mind would have to ask if a bowl full of mashed potatos topped with a layer or buttered corn, fried chicken, shredded cheese and homestyle brown gravy is "good" for ANYONE - much less a post-op WLS patient who is less than 3 weeks out from having their stomach and intestines cut on. So again... I was HOPING you were kidding.

Worst thing you can eat with a spoon: KFC Mashed Potato bowl. 
The KFC bowl is for those who can’t be bothered with a plate. It’s a tub filled with mashed potatoes, layered with sweet corn, and “loaded” with pieces of fried chicken. To add insult to injury, they dump “home style” gravy and cheese on top. I have a feeling this thing comes out in your toilet bowl looking the same exact way it went in.
A Better Yet: Avoid KFC altogether.

The Verdict: Oink
By Dan Neil
July 16, 2006 in print edition I-46
As we consider the worst fast-food offering ever, let us begin with the artifact itself: KFC’s new Famous Bowls product consists of a plastic tub of mashed potatoes or rice, topped with yellow corn, fried chicken nuggets, gravy and three varieties of grated cheese. All in one container, all to be consumed as a single homogenous mass, spork after spork of undifferentiated food matter.
And there it sits on my desk, a steaming, sweating pound of food goo that I purchased at a drive-in window (more anonymous that way) for $3.99. Let me tell you, it’s one thing to muse upon the Famous Bowls in a detached, ne’er-shall-pass-my-lips sort of way. Quite another to address the product, spork in hand.
And now, in the interests of participatory journalism, I take a bite. Hmmm. Uh-huh. OK. It’s like throwing up in reverse.
And so on....
