Guacamole has good fat of course in moderation. The fritos probably weren't so good.

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.....

Forgive me for giggling about the fact that you are worried about guacamole but not the fritos. :D

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. :D 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.

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....

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
