MMMMMMMMM - Refried Beans.



Recommended Posts

Thank you Megan!! That sure is sweet of you. I do think that one thing I have learned in the past three weeks is that ATTITUDE really is the key to this. I really think that if your heart is in it... it makes it SO much easier.

Kara, I can totally relate, Refired Beans were the best tasting thing after 3 weeks of liquids. They were my main mushy food , I loaded them with melted cheese and hot sauce from Del Taco Yum Yum!

The money issue is one that I haven't seen brought up before but it occurred to me the other day that I am spending a load less on food too. I was thinking about doing what people giving up cigs do and putting the money in a jar to spend on something else.

I haven't managed to add up how much I've saved but it must be 50-100 pounds over the last month.

Anyone else done anything interesting with the money they've saved?

I love refried Beans now.. so it will probably give me great pleasure to be able to eat them again during the mushy stage.. I make my own so i can probably add a few things to make it a diffrent meal everynight... poor hubby i can just here him now.. "Beans again?" LOL

Great idea! That will make the hubby really happy, and less stresed about the bill for surgery!

Trish, your poor husband...HA! Beans AGAIN?! I love refrieds.

Hi Kara,

I can remember how excited I got about potted meat! Never liked the stuff in my life but it tasted so gooood! Even now 21 months later, I am a chili aholic. I eat turkey chili once a week. I make it with organic Beans, rotel, a can of chunky tomatoes, hot sauce, cilantro, garlic onions and a pound of turkey. I eat it with a few tortilla chips and I am a happy camper. Good luck and keep up the good attitude.

My favorite mushy food still and I have it on occasion still is Refried Beans, shredded cheese, can of chicken, and a little dab of sour cream on top. OH I add organic Tomato Soup about 1/2 cup while it all is cooking. Loaded with Protein and so delicious. Filing as well.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
