tomorrow will mark my 2 weeks since my surgery.

last night i decided to try some fat free refried Beans with a little bit of cheese mixed in.

i took small bites and set my fork down in between bites. i think it took me about 20 mins or more to eat them.

i didn't measure out the beans when i put them on a plate. i just used a small spoon and scooped out two spoonfulls.

i was able to eat all of them with no problems. in fact, i didn't feel restriction at all.

is this normal for this early out? could it been the beans i was eating? i'm hoping to feel restriction when i try some tuna or canned chicken.

I ate refried beans at first and they just slid right down. I didn't keep real close tabs but I would bet that my diest was higher in calories durring the mushie stage than it is now.

Mushies are just too easy to eat. Once you are all healed up and you are getting most of your protein from food you'll be fine. I can eat about 4 oz of chicken and some veggies and I am full and satisfied for hours (full to the point of not being able to get in another bite). I'm pretty sure I could eat 8oz of refried beans if I tried (over 20-30min).
