I would pay good money if someone said I could have a spinach salad right now!

Of course you would. "Spinach" is so much easier to spell.

You could have a spinach salad right now. There you are, I said what you asked for. It doesn't mean you can or may have one, but I said it. Please put a good check in the mail.

As to refried Beans, they really are little more than cooked and mashed close to puree. Some seasoning, maybe a bit of oil. Read the ingredients list on a can or google a recipe.

I forgot about the skins in homemade. Tried it once...once only.

Agreed about the black bean. Trader Joe is the only place I've seen it, plain or with jalapeno. I don't detect jalapeno, though, and suppose there's very little of it. If you have a TJ, check for pureed black bean Soup.

I've never had any trouble with any kind of Beans - interesting to me that some have trouble with bean skins.

One of my first "real foods" was a few tablespoons of refried Beans with a couple drops of Siracha on top. You'd think it was the first time I had ever tasted food.

      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.
