i had surgery on june 6th. do you think refried beans (pureed very smooth/runny) would be okay?

_{i heard not to eat refried beans but beans should be fine u can smash them up just don't refry them}

I could have fat free refried beans when I started mushies, two weeks after surgery.

Good with a spoon of sour cream on top.

well, they are (if i eat them) fatfree.........and will blender them with a bit of cheese and salsa. got my new blender from qvc (vitamix pulse) that i am dying to use

but am only only 10 days out and trying to decide if i want too....am suppose to wait til wed.....

thoughts??

When are you allowed to move to mushies ? Refriead beans would have been week 4 for me. So personally I would say to wait awhile before you ate them.

Just read your next post. If you are supposed to wait till Wednesday wait till Wednesday. When I went in for my 2 week check up I only had 3 days left before I could move to mushies. I asked if I could move to mushy 3 days early the answer absolutely not! Also cheese is not a mushie it's a solid.

Dang it I had chesse...this Tuesday will b 3 weeks outta surgery for me...ok no more chesse for me

honk, you are so right............and am full liquids til this wed........and then on pureed and soft...........cant wait

ps--the cheese is for later on when i am able to eat real food.......i plan on using beans/salsa only when/if i use them

So wat about eating chicken make it so its like tuna?

was told to puree it (chix) and make it soft..i have my list here in front of me.

will def be trying diff things and blending it smooth. but check with ur dr. only going by my handouts

I have one of those little bullet blenders they r so awesome I love mine I have lost 14 pounds since surgery

I am allowed to have mushies 7 days post-op and refried beans are on my list and pureed meats, pureed fruits and veg, Scrambled eggs, low-fat cottage cheese. I will get to start all that tomorrow yay.

14 mo, that is so awesome. i am so proud of you

i wont know my weight til wed at m first follow up

i dont own a scale bc i know how weight can go up and down

and i have been a slave to the scale before and it drove me mad....

i weighed myself after every pee and poop and found my life/day

was based on what the hallowed scale said....no more

we are going to do just great

Carolinagirl I completely can relate to your previous scale addiction as I have it now. ;p had to hide it away and am.making myself only pull it out in mondays. Good luck

I wasn't gonna buy one but I did I have never owned a scale til now...I saw my doc for a follow up 1 week after surgery and I felt fatter then before cuz of all the gas and from the swelling from surgery anyway I thought I had gained weight but my first week lost 7 pounds...I actually have lost 30 cuz I started losing before surgery ..but I feel great ...good luck to u!!!!!!!

its best to go by how loose the clothes are

water weight, pms weight, it can ruin a whole day

if you weigh, do it once a week ONLY......same time.

i beg you not to go through that. its a horrid way to live
