1 can of refried beans:thumbs_up:

1 can of water:thumbs_up:

1 outlet plug:thumbs_up:

1 blender:thumbs_up:

Here goes...about 3 mins later I was enjoying a nice warm cup of refried Beans turned into straight liquid.:thumbup:.and it was so good lol..Granted I was starving..but it sure cured my hunger..20 mins later I am sitting here still full , no pain,no nothing..just a happy full feelings.. :lol: .

I think everyone is different. I mean if it works fo ryou then so be it. I would have done the same thing it even has crossed my mind but I am feeling like I have eaten a buffet 24/7 and can barely get Water down :lol: But I will live. Good luck!

One of my favorite full liquid foods is the boxed Carribbean black bean bisque Soup. What you made isn't that different from bean Soup, so I think it was fine, and sounds kind of yummy! Of course my doctor's instructions were Clear liquids for one week, then full liquids for two more, your recipe would have been perfectly acceptable under his diet.

I'm such a ditz tonight that I was wondering why you would put an outlet plug into your blender with the Beans . . .

Bumble Bee, that is gross. Yuck. I'd be too afraid. Well, at least you got some Protein. I'm drinking Slim Fast-Optima. There are several flavors. I have the Cappacino and it's very good. Besides that, I have cream Soups, broth and OH..today I made runny mashed potatoes. They were great! I'm only 4 days post-op. Good luck

Sometimes you do what ya gotta do. Always listen to your doctor FIRST but....

I was lucky that I did not have to be on a liquid diet after the surgery. Every surgeon seems to be different !!!

if you are supposed to be on Clear Liquids, then what you drank, although possibly satisfying, might very well hurt your band.

Follow your doctors orders to a T...it's the easiest way to succeed.

Oh, and the hunger pains while on liquids, they happen to everyone...I almost killed my husband while still liquiding... It sucks, but you can do this!
