Avocados are delicious. They seem to be nutritious. But they are high-fat and high-cal but supposedly a "good fat." Do you view avocados as a good food for WLS patients? Would one avocado per day be too much? I would appreciate your opinions and experiences.

I have a tablespoon of guacamole once in a while (whenever we have tacos, I have a bit on my taco meat). I've also mashed plain avocado into tuna salad and egg salad (in place of mayo) and it is pretty good It's a nice occasional treat, but not something I would eat daily.

Someone said a while ago that it was good when you're on your puréed or full liquid to go to Panera bread and get a bowl of their broccoli cheese soup blend it Well today I was out and about with my sisters who have helped me so much since my surgery on July 8th and I wanted to treat them to lunch. At Panera I asked if I could get a cup of broccoli cheese soup and if they would blend it for. Well they did and I ate 1/4 cup and took the rest home for a couple more meals. I just thought you all might want to know. Hope everyone's having a good day!

Avocados are a healthy fat. I don't like them alone but I do like guacamole. I put it on burgers - it makes dry ground beef go down easy. I couldn't eat burgers w/o it! :-)

I eat 2 or 3 a week at times....sometimes I just slice them and put chili powder on them and have them on a cracker....Yum!
