Someone suggested somewhere to top the Beans with enchilada sauce and cheese. That sounded wonderful to me :)

I used two can of refried Beans, one cooked chicken breast, a half of a small onion, and a quarter cup of fat free cheese. I am on puréed so after I cooked the chicken I cut the meat in smaller pieces and put it in my food processor with the onions and some hot sauce or you could use salsa. After the chicken was cut up in the processor, I added it to the refried beans and cheese in a sauce pan and warmed all of it up. Once warmed I used my food scale and put 2 ounces of food in each paper cupcake mold and froze overnight. The next morning I put them in a freezer bag. They peel off if the paper easily. I have been topping with plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fat free cheese and hot sauce. I think it tastes great and did not take long.

How do you heat them up again once you have taken them out of the freezer? they sound very tasty.

I do all sorts of things - torn up piece of turkey bacon, chunks of chicken jalapeno sausage, melted cheese, spicy guacamole (I buy the Wholly Guacamole spicy 100 calorie packs and just add a quarter of the pack), hot sauce, a poached egg. Not all at once of course but I will add hot sauce plus a couple of other things. I love my refried Beans. :)

Wish I could have them - my Doc has me on liquids for almost six weeks total (2.5 more weeks).

In the beginning I would go to Taco Bell and get pintos and cheese and a side scoop of taco meat. I would mix them together and be in heaven! Could only eat a small bit, but it was perfect for me!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
