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...

WOW Laura! You look better than a bowl of pureed meat & beans!!! Do you have room for 2 gays (well, 2.5 if you count Dean) in your posse? Great new pic!!! And thanks Dean!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
