Someone suggested somewhere to top the Beans with enchilada sauce and cheese. That sounded wonderful to me :)

I used two can of refried Beans, one cooked chicken breast, a half of a small onion, and a quarter cup of fat free cheese. I am on puréed so after I cooked the chicken I cut the meat in smaller pieces and put it in my food processor with the onions and some hot sauce or you could use salsa. After the chicken was cut up in the processor, I added it to the refried beans and cheese in a sauce pan and warmed all of it up. Once warmed I used my food scale and put 2 ounces of food in each paper cupcake mold and froze overnight. The next morning I put them in a freezer bag. They peel off if the paper easily. I have been topping with plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fat free cheese and hot sauce. I think it tastes great and did not take long.

How do you heat them up again once you have taken them out of the freezer? they sound very tasty.

I do all sorts of things - torn up piece of turkey bacon, chunks of chicken jalapeno sausage, melted cheese, spicy guacamole (I buy the Wholly Guacamole spicy 100 calorie packs and just add a quarter of the pack), hot sauce, a poached egg. Not all at once of course but I will add hot sauce plus a couple of other things. I love my refried Beans. :)

In the beginning I would go to Taco Bell and get pintos and cheese and a side scoop of taco meat. I would mix them together and be in heaven! Could only eat a small bit, but it was perfect for me!

      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.
