Avocado/guacamole
I ate some ON refried beans when I was able to have soft foods. :)

I did! Or just mashed avocado. Yum. (But I ate them with a protein.)

I didn't eat guacamole during the mushy stage, but I'll eat some now. Just beware of anything too spicy as that could trigger some reaction in your newly sleeved stomach.

One of the problems I have with spicier food now is that I can't drink for 30 minutes after eating. So I have to be careful not to eat something that will make me NEED WATER NOW.

My doc said it's okay (and spicy food was okay) but did caution again any thing like seeds (tomato's or peppers) or skins (tomato) or stringy fibers (corn) that could be mixed into the guac that could cause problems for the sleeve while still healing. As other have said protein is key, so adding a healthy fat like avocado to get to your calorie goal is fine as long as you are getting in your protein.
