KristenLe 5,979 Posted July 21, 2016 Hummus, ricotta bake (recipe online), refried Beans (in Mexican food section of grocery store) with melted cheese, puree chicken and add mayo (could add dill relish or avocado too). Be creative! Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Refried beans aren't actually fried, they are just mashed up beans. You can get them at Taco Bell (pintos and cheese), a Mexican restaurant (they have more fat), or canned in the grocery store.

Regular fried beans have lard in them. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidikat72 935 Posted July 21, 2016 my puree phase allowed soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, pureed lean meats, etc. I pretty much lived on tuna or salmon pouches or canned chicken pureed with plain greek yogurt for lunch and dinner. Breakfast i had an egg, or yogurt or cottage cheese (small curd). I think with the puree phase - you just kind of have to get through it and look at what you are eating as necessary medication to get your Protein in.
