I just started phase 3 and my doc couldn't find a copy of the diet so are butter, sour cream and cream chz allowed? How thick can blended food be? Thanks.

Everyone has different phases so what's phase 1-2-3?

Milk can cause problems if you are allergic to it. Fat can cause dumping.

Phase 1 clear liquid phase 2 full liquid phase 3 puréed. As far as I know for me anyway. Thx.

I've used I can't believe it's butter you should look for fat free cream cheese and sour cream those were on my dr list

For soft and purred like it said refried beans and you can put a dab of sour cream and cheese to soften and for taste

my dr forbids refried beans because it’s a starch not a protein

Beans are also protein an half cup of black beans has 7.6 Grams of protein according to my Fittness pal

My doc and nut have several recipes with Beans. Her fav, the nut, is to take 98% FF refried beans, sour cream, salsa, cheese and then blend with chicken stock until a little soupy.

I've actually been staring at those darn beans on the counter. I have all my post op diet stuff bought and I want some so bad. I can't wait.

Then just have bread and some peanut butter - same thing

I ate the beans a lot those first weeks. One of the few things that was allowed that actually tasted like real food! Puréed meat and I are not friends!!!!
