Question:
Is it ok to eat fat free refried beans if you are on pureed diet?

I'm currently on pureed diet right now and fat free refried beans with a little fat free sour cream and fat free cheese sounds good. What you all of you think?    — Kris T. (posted on February 21, 2003)

how about trying those refried bean paste dips instead. they're already mashed up to a past so there's no whole beans at all. I think frito-lay makes the bean dips. Or just mash the beans up yourself completely so there aren't any pieces. However, if you decide to just go ahead and eat it, just remember to chew it to a watery consistency and take small bites -- you should have no problems with that!! that actually sounds pretty good to me too!! Good luck!

For what it's worth, that was one of my staples while I was on the pureed diet. Bon appetit! ;~D

I too am on the pureed diet. Fat free refried beens is on my good food list given by BTC in Columbus. Infact tonight's dinner was fat free refried beans spread on a small plate with pureed chicken,onion, & green pepper mixture as the next level, then topped with low fat cheese. Yum, it was great even though I couldn't eat much :)! Enjoy your refried beans!

My surgeon told me to eat the fat-free refried beans. It was my first pureed food! Enjoy! Try adding a little cheese later on, if your surgeon approves.

I lived on that with a little melted shredded cheese on top. YUM! Just take little bites and chew very thoroughly. Enjoy!

You sound just as I did just a few weeks ago..... I lived off of refried beans for weeks. They were such a treat! I added cheese onto mine! Good luck! 8 weeks / 40 pounds.

How did you guess what I ate for lunch today? It's the best thing I've had so far. I took a few spoonsful of beans and sprinkled the finely shredded cheddar cheese on it then heated it. Isn't it funny how discovewries like this make you happy!!! I'm 10 days out, LAP RNY.

I am still on pureed foods also. I have been nervous to try refried beans because I had 36 hours of gas pain from 2 mushed up brussel sprouts. Will the beans not give me wicked gas?
