Please help...

My book says that I can start having 'refined beans' for protein..I am on pureed stage, just over 2 weeks so I really need the protein and would love some variety so I would really like to find out what the heck refined beans are....

Refried beans are a latin dish. It is cooked pinto, black or really any type of bean and they're mushed/smashed/pureed type consistancy. I love refried black beans the best. Enjoy!

Mushy beans like refried beans.

Refried beans I love...but my book says

ReFINEd - that's what's confusing me...maybe.its a typo?

What can I have as far as beans on pureed?

There is no such thing as "refined beans". I am absolutely sure you are looking at a typo meant to state "refried beans".

I am on pureed and am having refried beans. I chew / move it around in my mouth with each bite so that it's a pureed consistency. I melt a bit of cheese and put a dollop of sour cream on top with chalula hot sauce. Has been my favorite meals so far.

Make sure if you get the canned variety that you get the fat free. Some refried beans are prepared with LARD and you definitely don't want to be putting that in your body.

My post surgery sheet (yours may vary) says that you can blend a little bit of salsa in there too

You nailed it. That's exactly what I was going to say.
