never knew refried beans could taste like heaven : )



Recommended Posts

Just had my first pureed food tonight. I took some refried Beans, mixed in some greek yogurt and Chohula Sauce. Stirred it all together and scooped into muffin pans (purely for portion control). Topped with cheese and heated in the oven.

Yum! I really have missed savory flavors other than cream of chicken Soup : ) Cant wait to decide what to puree tomorrow!

I found that I could pretty much puree anything made by Progresso and was always very content.

@nervousnellie - congratulations on getting to pureed stage! I love your attitude - I hope I can match it when it's my turn!

@montugue - it might be wise to start your own new thread for this, just to avoid hijacking nellie's thread. But as a thought, have you considered why you are snacking? Is your last meal too early compared to your bedtime? Is it a habit, like when you watch tv? Is it head hunger, as in I really want some carbs? Or are you actually hungry?

If it's actually hunger, maybe either shift your dinner to a little later, or rework your meal schedule to include a small evening snack. Put your snacking urge to good use. Find some good Protein Snacks, like a little cheese or even better, something more dense like chicken. That should fill you up quickly, and give you longer-lasting satisfaction than carbs. Some people find that a small yogurt or a Protein Shake is enough to keep them on track without leaving them hungry.

If it's habit, find something to do that keeps your hands busy and makes it too tough to eat. I use a knitting loom while I watch TV quite often, which means I'm not likely to eat chips or anything that will get grease/crumbs on my project without thinking about it, taking the time to put the project away, eating, washing hands and getting back to my project. I'd have to honestly REALLY want the chips to do that. It doesn't keep me from putting the project on my lap for a moment and grabbing a sip of iced tea or Water, though!

Good luck to both of you!

      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.
