Serving size for refried beans?



Recommended Posts

I've read a lot of people saying that they had refried Beans with cheese and sour cream during their pureed stage. Can someone give me the amounts on these? I'll be using low-fat beans, 2% shredded cheddar, and low fat sour cream.

I'm sure there will be a lot of different advice on this. I've been trying to get better at listening to my body through all of this.

If it were me I'd serve up a small amount in a bowl. I'd add a small amount of cheese and sour cream, but only enough so the Beans weren't bland.

I'd eat them until I felt satisfied but no over full.

I measured out 1/4 cup and yep, that was almost exactly right - felt full, no discomfort but knew 1 more bite would have put me over the edge. Btw, I pureed ground beef with mine, so it was not 100% Beans.< /p>

Yeah, a Beans and mince chili con carne is still a go to food for me. I have little frozen packets of Protein goodness in the freezer.

Nice new photo BTW!!

I don't want to get in trouble and take us off topic, so let me figure out of a way to say this...

WOW Laura! You look better than a bowl of pureed meat & beans!!! Do you have room for 2 gays (well, 2.5 if you count Dean) in your posse? Great new pic!!! And thanks Dean!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
