kyw78 1 Posted April 21, 2015 I'm one week post op. Has anyone had mashed up avocado at this point? I'm desperate for real food!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PMJ 55 Posted April 22, 2015 Just tried one yesterday (I am 2 and 1/2 weeks out) didn't care for it. Nut. said greek yogurt 0 fat was fine I actually put a tablespoon of honey on it, she said as long as sugars were under 15% would be fine. This helped me get Protein (go for high ones) and feel like your eating something. Pre made Protein drinks make me ill, just can't stomach them. Plus try Soups but make sure you puree them up. Must admit this gets old but thankful to the heavens that I do not have to go weeks and weeks like some brave soles. Have no problem with liquids but thicker foods I really need to train myself to eat slower because it hurts. Muddling my way though this, hope you enjoy something.

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted April 22, 2015 A nice ripe one would mash up pretty good. Remember when you start purees, they must be runny enoigh to fall off the spoon. Maybe you could thin it out with some chicken broth.< /p> 1 ColoRad Gal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another problem I have is that I don't like yogurt, tried them all. I know I'm not getting enough protein because I have to force myself to drink the shakes and soups. Thanks for the help.

Lynn Hatcher 10 Posted April 26, 2015 I doubt many are getting all the Protein in this early in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted April 26, 2015 Mash an avocado and add plain yogurt or sour cream to it along with some lime juice to thin it. Delish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandisleeve 563 Posted April 29, 2015 Avocado was hard for me to tolerate initially (first 6 months out really) but now I'm 16.5 months out and love it.... Initially it caused a stinging pain and my nut said its pointless in the beginning cause they have little Protein. Now I enjoy it with my sushi hand rolls on a regular basis ????????????

Weighting2BeFree 164 Posted May 2, 2015 I love avocados. They are smooth going down and help me hit my 1000-1200 calories a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rommy 7 Posted May 2, 2015 I love avocados but it might make you gassy early on. I would try very little and see how you feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
