My First Food Since Surgery! Gimme Refried Beans!

I just had some runny, wholesome refried Beans from the local Mexican place. With cheese sauce. I've had 3 teaspoons full. I think this is the BEST thing I've ever put in my mouth!! Right now, I'd say these beans are better than sex (well that's b/c I can't have sex right now, but I CAN have these wonserful, delectable smushed beans that I generally glance over at the restaurant. If I could have $1000 or more beans, right now I'd say more beans. YUM!

I am going VERY slowly. This is the first thing I've put in my stomach other than broth, juice and Water in 10 days. I feel like I can eat another spoon, but will wait 5-10 minutes or so before trying. Maybe not. These are GOOD!

It's funny how we take the small things in life for granted until we don't have them, huh?

Ha, ha! You made me laugh!!

I remember my first taste of food, too...it was wonderful! And it only gets better and better. :)

Take care!!

My sister-in-law is from Guatemala and does WONDERFUL things with black beans, including a very loose refried style. One more week and I get to have some of those! My wife is also planning a pilgrimage to Olive Garden for their soups, which we will blend but won't have to strain, and my mom made me three jars of broccoli cheese soup. I'm well covered for the mushies stage, I think. :)

Lol, I had refried beans with low fat parm cheese for my second meal. My first was mushy crab cakes - very yum. Savored verrrrrry slowly. Enjoying every second.

I can't wait!!! I am on day 6 of clears,and I am more than thrilled to be moving to full liquids tomorrow!!! Along with the excitement, comes the fear of adding in new foods. ;( I will be DYING to chug those Proteins shake tomorrow, but I'm going to have to take it easy.

Enjoy your retried beans!!! ;)
