never knew refried beans could taste like heaven : )



Recommended Posts

Just had my first pureed food tonight. I took some refried Beans, mixed in some greek yogurt and Chohula Sauce. Stirred it all together and scooped into muffin pans (purely for portion control). Topped with cheese and heated in the oven.

Yum! I really have missed savory flavors other than cream of chicken Soup : ) Cant wait to decide what to puree tomorrow!

I found that I could pretty much puree anything made by Progresso and was always very content.

@nervousnellie - congratulations on getting to pureed stage! I love your attitude - I hope I can match it when it's my turn!

@montugue - it might be wise to start your own new thread for this, just to avoid hijacking nellie's thread. But as a thought, have you considered why you are snacking? Is your last meal too early compared to your bedtime? Is it a habit, like when you watch tv? Is it head hunger, as in I really want some carbs? Or are you actually hungry?

If it's actually hunger, maybe either shift your dinner to a little later, or rework your meal schedule to include a small evening snack. Put your snacking urge to good use. Find some good Protein Snacks, like a little cheese or even better, something more dense like chicken. That should fill you up quickly, and give you longer-lasting satisfaction than carbs. Some people find that a small yogurt or a Protein Shake is enough to keep them on track without leaving them hungry.

If it's habit, find something to do that keeps your hands busy and makes it too tough to eat. I use a knitting loom while I watch TV quite often, which means I'm not likely to eat chips or anything that will get grease/crumbs on my project without thinking about it, taking the time to put the project away, eating, washing hands and getting back to my project. I'd have to honestly REALLY want the chips to do that. It doesn't keep me from putting the project on my lap for a moment and grabbing a sip of iced tea or Water, though!

Good luck to both of you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
