Recommended Posts

I just like it with a little salt and cumin.

I like fresh guacamole with a dollop of hot black Beans on it -- something about the texture and temperature contrasts plus of course that jacks the Protein up.

Well, the avocados are delicious right now. I also bought a couple and today simply sliced half of one up and added it to my turkey / cheese / whole wheat sandwich.

Boy, was it good!

Thanks to @@Inner Surfer Girl for starting this thread. :)

Mash it up w/a smidge of EVOO and use in place of mayo in tuna/chicken salad, sandwiches etc. Great sliced/cubed and in a salad with heart of palm and white asparagus (not sure if that is permitted?)

Use it on a sandwich instead of mayo or butter.

Had 1/2 an avocado diced with 1 diced hard boiled egg and a little red wine vinaigrette dressing (Wishbone). Satisfied my taste for lots of flavor and very filling.

You can put it in a Protein shake if you drink them. Doesn't really change the taste and make it crazy creamy-smooth. I used a lot of avocado early in maintenance when I was trying to add calories and good fat without bulk. Guac is a fav, on just about anything for me. I've seem people cook an egg in half an avocado, but that would be a lot for me in one sitting, size wize and fat wize. My gall bladder is on the edge, (may eventually need to come out :-() since WLS and too much fat, (even good fat) can be a bad thing now.

Thanks for the suggestion @bikrchik. I do drink Protein shakes and will keep this in mind. I don't use a blender for the majority of my shakes for simplicity sake, but I may give it a try with an unflavored Protein powder, veggie juice and avocado. I think that would be very filling and satisfying.

I mash mine up and mix with a little cottage cheese and some pepper!

Ooh, these sound interesting!

Next time I'll have to buy more than two. Thanks for all of the great suggestions!

Lord! We got through about 10 a week.. if not more. My 2.5 year old will eat a whole one with dinner.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
