Hi everyone I am having my Surgery September 13 and yesterday started my Pre-Op diet. I was just wondering I love Avacado in my salad is it counted as an unlimited veggie or a protien or is it even allowed?

I think avocados are great because they have a good bit of protein and the fat is the good kind. There are some great avocado recipes out there for bandsters.

Avacados are sooooooooo healthy! I love them! I mix them in everything!

They are truly amazing, I could eat them all the time -- but let's admit it, they are full of fat, even if it's the good kind. I doubt they would count as an "unlimited veggie." I was told just greens, mushrooms, and tomatoes.

I would ask your doctor.....but you might not like the answer!

Plus all the fibre...that will be a big help post op

Avo's are very healthy but they are also full of calories. Normally a serve of avo is 1/4 of a small one. They are definitely not an unlimited veggie.

sparingly of course, .... be mindful of the calories/fat intake for the day

I wasn't allowed avo's on my pre op diet because I was on a liquid one. However as much as I enjoy them theyre so high in calories I eat them rarely.
