Hi! I am Ash. I had my RNY gastric bypass on August 28th, 2013. Are there any other August post ops that would like to start a group?

Avocado has zero Protein. Just Google it.

A 1-oz. serving of Hass Avocado contains 1 gram of protein, and a whole 5-oz. Hass Avocado (5 servings) contains 3 grams of protein. Though Hass Avocados do not contain a significant amount of protein, they can be a creamy and delicious addition to a variety of meal plans and menus. They are used in a variety of different eating plans including a vegetarian diet as a way to add nutrients and substitute for animal products. In addition, because they contain 3.5 grams of unsaturated or good fat per 1-oz. serving when eaten in moderation they can be a great substitute for foods that are high in saturated fats. Other varieties of avocado, however, can vary in the amount of protein they contain.

Hi this is what I read in google

Glad you Googled it because what I read was zero on the nutrition facts. Might have been a different kind of avocado.

Oh my goodness my mind just won't let go of thinking I'm hungry. I just laid down for an afternoon nap and dreampt about eating lasagna. I am Garfield.

I've dreamt about hot fudge sundaes, cucumbers & kfc lol

I am finally on to the soft foods phase and had 1oz of cottage cheese over 30min

I can't wait for soft foods. Two more weeks. The smell of protein shakes is starting to make me sick. I actually gave up on drinking them today for most of the day because I just couldn't handle any more. I really want to follow directions, but 3.5 weeks of protein shakes feels like torture.

I also had mine on the 6th and I was 330 my last pre op visit. And 326 when I was discharged from hospital post op. I am 306 now. But I am getting no where near enough Protein. I found a new Protein Drink from Special K that u mix in with Water that is 5 grams of protein and sugar free. I got the kiwi strawberry one but they have others. And that is helping me get my fluids and some protein. I also found some hard candies from crystal light that are really good.

Hello Naynay what store did u find the Special K drink mix in? I brought it years ago but can't remember where.

I got the Special K protein drink mix on Amazon.

I bought it at a local grocery store called S-Mart, which is a part of Lucky's. I haven't really looked for it at any other stores but when I go shopping again at other stores I am going to.

My surgery was August 19th. I started my journey in March with classes and appointments. My heaviest was 350 after I stopped smoking 5 years this coming November. I was 335 in March, 298 day before surgery and 310 after. I have finally lost all the swelling and I am down to 292. I am having issues redirecting my time to something else besides food. I am also dealing with staying down to heal. I feel very good and want to get moving but I know I can't. Going stir crazy!

I had surgery August 7 of 2013. I just found out today about this website at my one month check up.

Welcome to our August surgery site. I had mine on August 6, doing pretty good. Definitely not getting enough Protein but other than that doing good. How are you doing?

About how long did it take for the pain at the surgery site to go away? It feels like the time I had bruised ribs. I'm only a week out so I figure I'll still have some pain. I'm just ready for that to be over with.

All of my pain was gone by 2 1/2 weeks post op. but was minimal at almost 2 weeks post op. I am now about 4 1/2 weeks post op and feeling like I can do cart wheels lol I can't do them yet but feel good enough to do them!
