Refried beans!! Heaven!



Recommended Posts

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! :D

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.

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.

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!! :lol: We're making it tonight to put in burrito's for the rest of the fam!! ;)

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.

So I'm assuming you need to puree the Bean with Bacon? Sorry for the maybe obvious question :unsure: 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'. :lol:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
