You guys are lucky! My NUT is very resistant to us eating avocado because it's "easy to overeat it". I really haven't even tried but I do love avocado!

Yum!! How far out are you??

I am 3 weeks post op. I started soft foods yesterday. Thin sliced deli meats are on my list, hopefully they are on yours too! There are so many things you can wrap up with turkey or ham - guacamole, cheese, hummus, sweet potatoes, etc... I could only eat about half of one turkey and avocado wrap, but am starting to get hungry so will probably eat the other half soon!

If that's her only reason just measure it out. I have been eating guacamole, measuring out 2 tbl and tracking. To me you can overeat ANYTHING you put your mind to. ( makes me wonder if the NUT overeats this particular food). ;-)

I'm 3weeks in and I couldn't wait to get some type of food I was starving on the liquid diet so once I got my clearance last week I been having a ball even though I could only hold about 2oz so I had a taste for some avocado and I felt like I was in heaven.

I didn't until I reached goal, but ask your dietitian. They're all different. I eat guacamole now, not a lot but when we eat fajitas, I don't eat the flour tortilla, I eat the meat, guacamole and a little Beans and rice. Yummy!

I get a thin slice of havarti cheese and lay a slice or two of deli chicken on top then put a slice of avocado on top of that, roll it up and it is a meal.

Avocado is a completely natural food, not processed, so clean eating. Yes, they are high in fat, but good fat. My NUT encouraged me to eat them!

I'm just wondering? How often everyone has to go to the NUT? my doctor told me i only need to go when I see him. (Back to back appts). Which is 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months & then a year....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
