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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
