My sleeve surgery was 10/17. I'm in the puréed stage. I pretty much live on yogurt and have just started having puréed refried beans. The serving size has 4 oz. I can eat two servings of these. I'm full afterwards, but not uncomfortably so. Is it because they're like slider foods, is that why I can handle 2 servings or 8 oz?

How much should you be having? You should never eat more than the amount your told which is 4 ounce for alot of us so you should not test your sleeve . I cant eat 8 ounces of refried beans now 3 months out. But yes dense protein is harder to eat alot of.

Just because you can does not mean you should. Eat small bites for 20 minutes and that's it. Re fried beans are pretty dense to me.

I just wouldn't eat that much even if you can.

I was also sleeved the 17th. I start pureed tomorrow. (I am a little behind because I was on clear for 3 days) My instructions say 1/2 c or 4 oz per meal. I hope that helps. My booklet has sample menus and lists of foods. Plmk if you would like me to post them.
