dede0314 356 Posted May 10, 2016 Guacamole has good fat of course in moderation. The fritos probably weren't so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted May 10, 2016 well, that depends on where you are in your recovery, what your nutritionist tells you, and what your calorie goal is for the day. avocadoes are a little high in calories but generally very good for you. The fritos on the other hand..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted May 10, 2016 Forgive me for giggling about the fact that you are worried about guacamole but not the fritos. Guacamole was actually one of my first pureed foods. I make it myself so I was able to leave out the chunkier bits and mash it smaller at the beginning and then adjust as my diet progressed. I am almost three years out and still don't eat the fritos. Veggie stick go well with guac!EDIT!! I see that you are pre-op and on a 2 week liquid diet. That totally changes my answer.Yes, guacamole AND fritos are bad right now.A two week liquid pre-op sucks donkey ass. I feel your pain, but you can do this and you are worth it. It's only a few more days and you CAN do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,713 Posted May 10, 2016 How far post-op are you? Guacamole and avocados are a good source of healthy fats, but because they are high in fat, they are high in calories. If you are in the weight loss phase, then you should try to steer clear of such "calorie dense" foods. Save those for when you are in maintenance. Fritos on the other hand... not really "good" at any stage. If you are early post-op they are very bad. You shouldn't be having any crunchy foods until 3 months out. If you are beyond 3 months out, you should still steer clear of Fritos because they are pure carbs.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted May 10, 2016 You could have eaten the guac with a fork and it would have been all good. Fritos though? Come on. Just so no to chips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,713 Posted May 10, 2016 If you are on the pre-op, liver-shrinking diet, then both are probably bad, but the fritos moreso. Carbs will kick your body out of ketosis and cause your liver to start storing glycogen again. The whole point of the pre-op diet is to deplete your liver of its glycogen stores, causing it to shrink, and making it easier to access your stomach.
