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

[anniesmommy 26]

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 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!

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?

[anniesmommy 26]

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.
