Beans - Big Big Mistake

[wildrose1966 396]

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.

You are a very funny lady

Thanks for making me smile

I mostly eat eggs, tuna , fish, canned pears, Greek yogurt

I am not allowed veggies and Beans and such

I'd stay away from them !!!

I hope you don't explode ! LOL

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.
