imawhodat 3 Posted July 23, 2011 I was able to eat about 2oz of refried Beans with a tiny bit of cheese and sour cream. Brought a tear to my eye I tell you! So it took me almost an hour to eat it, and I KNOW that's not what most of y'all have been told to allow for meals. But this was my first time eating it and I didn't want to rush it and get sick. I needed to know how I would tolerate it...and I did just fine Tomorrow I will reduce meal time. I'm so excited! Who would of ever thought 2 oz of food would make me this happy, but after the road I've been down with this sleeve it makes me wanna jump for joy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tippy2us 11 Posted July 23, 2011 I just had refried Beans this week too and yes, they were Heaven!! The Beans at Taco Bell are 4 Weight Watcher's points so it's good to know in a pinch I can get those and have a 4 point lunch which is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMommy 4 Posted July 31, 2011 That little meal sounds HEAVENLY to me right now! I am only 4 days out and am so hungry. Thanks for sharing and I will try the same thing when I am allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SKCUNNINGHAM 298 Posted July 31, 2011 GREAT TO SEE YOU ARE DOING WELL! If you like that, you might also want to try Campbells bean and bacon Soup. I mix it with half of the allotted Water, and just before serving, put 2 T of shredded cheese on my serving. This ups the Protein content and the shredded cheese just makes it taste wonderful. You can get 3 servings (at least) out of the can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firephotographer 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Last night, I mixed refried Beans, a can of chicken that pureed with chicken broth, and some cheese, and it was AMAZING!! I might have had about 3 bites of it, but seriously, I was in HEAVEN!! hahahah!! Couldn't believe that my kids actually wanted to eat it too!! Well, they wanted to go to the store and buy tortilla chips to eat it with, but still!! We're making it tonight to put in burrito's for the rest of the fam!!

Bryn Dawson 9 Posted August 4, 2011 I never thought I would be salivating over the idea of Beans but there it is - they're sooooooo freaking good at the end of the purees stage when you'd kill for just about anything you can chew. I have been thinking about making refried Beans for dinner tonight, actually. With some salsa and some shredded Mexican cheese blend - yum! I also like Campbell's bean with bacon as another poster mentioned. It's very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soon2BMiniMommy 92 Posted August 4, 2011 So I'm assuming you need to puree the Bean with Bacon? Sorry for the maybe obvious question I have a WHOLE list of food ideas you guys have all given me and off different WLS surgery websites so I know I won't run out of ideas when I finally get off clear/full liquids!

If you're on purees, then you will want to puree the Bean with Bacon Soup. I'm on soft foods, so I'm eating it 'whole'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
