Yes, make sure they are the fat free kind. I am able to split one can into five meals with each one being a little over 1/4 cup.

[doesn't stop me!] I was wondering if we should refrain from eating beans! ;-)

I thin mine out and eat them like a Soup with a little cheese on top. If you are just starting the soft foods...it will be easier to go down.

I have an amazing recipe for chipotle that you can use during the pureed food stage. Hit me up if you are interested. I also have other pureed recipes on my blog like an alfredo sauce. Check it out if you are interested!

I'm LOL too.

Dole makes a Soup that comes in a carton (no can) as part of their Garden Soup collection called "Southwestern Black Bean and Corn".

Low Cal, Low Carb, Non Fat, and really tasty. It's a little on the thick side for those of us still a few days away from pureed food, so I actually thinned it with a little lime juice and hot Water. I had about 1/3 C. last night as my dinner. It went down fine and was very satisfying..... Only thing.......GOT GAS!! :huh:

      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.
