Hi guys! I'm 2 weeks out and excited to start trying new (soft) things. So far, the only thing I've tried is eggs and some melted chedder cheese in the eggs, and all went well. I would like to try refried beans tonight with some melted shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of plain greek yogurt. Has anyone successfully tried refried beans this early out? How much would you say I should consume at one sitting? About 1/4 to 1/2 a cup??

Our doc allows only 1 ounce of food per sitting. It doesn't sound like much, but it seems to be the right amount for me. I have been having refried Beans for about a week. It sounds gross but I have been taking the 1 ounce refried beans and mixing it with a small (think baby spoon) spoonful of cottage cheese. Once it heats up, it makes it a little cheesy and helps thin it out a little. I have really enjoyed it and despised cottage cheese pre-surgery.

The beans have not made me sick, but I had trouble with eggs. I tried some scrambled egg beaters on Monday night and the doc thinks that is what caused the swelling that landed me back in the hospital on Tuesday (no stricture, just swelling).

Another suggestion for you since it sounds like you're willing to try yogurt! I have been in love with Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt (1 ounce) mixed with a spoonful of PB2. Since it is nice and thick it almost tastes like I am eating a spoonful of really soft Peanut Butter. I've tried the one that is like Nutella and it is just as delicious.

Where did you find the PB2?????

I found a different brand (it's organic and actually seemed "better" than PB2) at Vitamin Shoppe. The brand I bought is Just Great Stuff:

I bought a container of both the Peanut Butter and the chocolate peanut butter. They are both amazing and taste incredible mixed with the plain Greek Yogurt!

I've also seen the PB2 on Amazon.

I tried it at 9 days out and did not like it...it sat easy on the tummy but I just didn't like it

I had them at roughly 2-3 weeks and they tasted great to me. My hubby took me to a local mexican restaurant and I ordered those with cheese on top.....yummmmmmmmmm

I love spicey refried beans...they were delish!!

I can usually only get down 1/4 cup or less. It is filling
