Serving size for refried beans?



Recommended Posts

I've read a lot of people saying that they had refried Beans with cheese and sour cream during their pureed stage. Can someone give me the amounts on these? I'll be using low-fat beans, 2% shredded cheddar, and low fat sour cream.

I'm sure there will be a lot of different advice on this. I've been trying to get better at listening to my body through all of this.

If it were me I'd serve up a small amount in a bowl. I'd add a small amount of cheese and sour cream, but only enough so the Beans weren't bland.

I'd eat them until I felt satisfied but no over full.

I measured out 1/4 cup and yep, that was almost exactly right - felt full, no discomfort but knew 1 more bite would have put me over the edge. Btw, I pureed ground beef with mine, so it was not 100% Beans.< /p>

Yeah, a Beans and mince chili con carne is still a go to food for me. I have little frozen packets of Protein goodness in the freezer.

Nice new photo BTW!!

I don't want to get in trouble and take us off topic, so let me figure out of a way to say this...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
