Beans - Big Big Mistake



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks and 3 days post op, and advanced yesterday to my final stage of eating before maintenance. Going from pureed to small diced, add some soft fruit etc. Well yesterday, I had 1/2 cup of Beans (baked). (I have had Beans on 2 other occassions, no problems). I am 24hrs since the beans were consumed and have been suffering all day. Gassy, bloated, almost feel like I did 2 days post op. Woke up feeling full, bloated, tender when I take deep breaths........I am full of gas. Had to leave work and slept for 3hrs after a big poop and loading up on gas x. If I lit a match in this house, it would go up in flames.

I don't think it is anything else than something I have eaten, doesn't feel like the flu. I am blaming it on the beans............. Going back to pureed and liquids and chicken and slowely introduce anything new and done with beans.

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

My salvation is chili with a few kinds of Beans. I agree you can end up gassy.

Leave them alone for a while and try them again but less of them.

I feel you sista! I'm not even banded yet ,Monday Oct.15, but I ate some eggs & sausage crumbles last night. If it doesn't come out of me soon, they will not have to fill my stomach with gas. I'm already there.

Of course, I just realized I have GasX for post surgery. A little slow in figuring, duh try it!

There are 200 calories in 1/2 c of baked beans..... I would stay away for the reasons you site as well as that would be 1/5 of my daily calorie count

I'm at 1200 calories a day, so for a treat I do eat some lowfat refreid Beans, probably close to 1/3 cup. MMMM taste good. I do this once a week.

As I am on pureed moving to soft, I just needed something different so Beans it was. I am a new person today, gas is gone (and so are the leftover beans from my fridge). Thank you all............

I am perfectly fine eating 160 calories for 1/2 c Beans when right now my 3 meals are 3-4 oz and my 2 Snacks are 1-2 oz and I am eating mush. I barely hit 1000 calories/day. However, I will not be eating beans again any time soon. Graduating to more real meats right now and that is a good thing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
