_{i heard not to eat refried Beans but beans should be fine u can smash them up just don't refry them}

I could have fat free refried Beans when I started mushies, two weeks after surgery.

Good with a spoon of sour cream on top.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

well, they are (if i eat them) fatfree.........and will blender them with a bit of cheese and salsa. got my new blender from qvc (vitamix pulse) that i am dying to use

but am only only 10 days out and trying to decide if i want too....am suppose to wait til wed.....

thoughts??

When are you allowed to move to mushies ? Refriead Beans would have been week 4 for me. So personally I would say to wait awhile before you ate them.

[honk 780]

Just read your next post. If you are supposed to wait till Wednesday wait till Wednesday. When I went in for my 2 week check up I only had 3 days left before I could move to mushies. I asked if I could move to mushy 3 days early the answer absolutely not! Also cheese is not a mushie it's a solid.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

honk, you are so right............and am full liquids til this wed........and then on pureed and soft...........cant wait

ps--the cheese is for later on when i am able to eat real food.......i plan on using beans/salsa only when/if i use them

I have one of those little bullet blenders they r so awesome I love mine I have lost 14 pounds since surgery

[ready4change2 19]

I am allowed to have mushies 7 days post-op and refried Beans are on my list and pureed meats, pureed fruits and veg, Scrambled eggs, low-fat cottage cheese. I will get to start all that tomorrow yay.

[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

14 mo, that is so awesome. i am so proud of you

i wont know my weight til wed at m first follow up

i dont own a scale bc i know how weight can go up and down

and i have been a slave to the scale before and it drove me mad....

i weighed myself after every pee and poop and found my life/day

was based on what the hallowed scale said....no more

we are going to do just great

Carolinagirl I completely can relate to your previous scale addiction as I have it now. ;p had to hide it away and am.making myself only pull it out in mondays. Good luck

I wasn't gonna buy one but I did I have never owned a scale til now...I saw my doc for a follow up 1 week after surgery and I felt fatter then before cuz of all the gas and from the swelling from surgery anyway I thought I had gained weight but my first week lost 7 pounds...I actually have lost 30 cuz I started losing before surgery ..but I feel great ...good luck to u!!!!!!!
