MMMMMMMMM - Refried Beans.



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

Thanks so much for all the support.

I kind of got spicy tonight. I took a small throw a way pan, put a very thin layer of spag. sauce, then a layer of Ricotta cheese, then a little more sauce. Sprinkled some 2 % milk cheese and baked for about 25 min. NUMMMY! I could only eat about a half a cup and I was STUFFED. I have enough for about 6 meals. lol

It isnt as packed with Protein as I would have liked, but enough to round out about 55 G's today. Will need more, but it is HARD to get it in during the mushies phase.

OH yea refried Beans are great.

When I am out, only been a few times and need to eat something, like yesterday after teaching painting class and before a doctors appointment, I stop at taco bell, I get the pintos and cheese with some sour cream. I can only eat about a third or half of the little bowl. Fills me up for a long time and is so cheap. Since I don't order a drink I am saving there too. When I think what my preband Taco Bell meal order would be, ohhhh my.

On the few occasions that we have ate out at nicer restaurants, the money I have saved in not getting a drink sure helps with the tip. I tip a bit more generous now adays. Of course we eat out a lot less. It is almost a treat now instead of an every other day event. And Hubby or my step daughter and I share a meal.

I had my first fill last Wednesday. I got a 1cc fill. I ate less than half of the pintos and cheese yesterday.

Prior to my fill I had gotten a soft taco and scraped out the meet and cheese into the Beans. UMMM,

      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.
