Jnizzi 23 Posted May 5, 2015 I am 2 weeks out and on pureed foods and just tried refried Beans and I don't know it I ate too fast or what but I feel like my chest is exploding. I took tiny bites and chewed it to death and thought I ate slow enough....maybe my sleeve just doesn't like beans??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liannatx 897 Posted May 5, 2015 They were too thick and solid for me. I had to thin them out before I could tolerate them, and even then I don't think I could eat more than an ounce the first few times I ate them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borg/assimilated 576 Posted May 5, 2015 pureed foods was the hardest phase for me. You may have to be a little cautious trying new things. Maybe just a couple bites until you know your stomach can handle it. I eventually went back to full liquid plus some Soups, my stomach was just too unhappy. It does get better and a lot more quickly than you would think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted May 6, 2015 I watered my refried Beans down with Water to make it kinda soupy. And I only do 2 tablespoons at a time for a meal, since I am just out of purees myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jnizzi 23 Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks everyone. I feel better now. I think they were too thick/dry. Note to self...baby steps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannaBthinsoon 1,634 Posted May 6, 2015 @@Jnizzi today I accidentally went ahead a week on the diet plan. I had chicken salad that I made with canned chicken lots of mayo and boiled egg. It went down fine. I chewed it to tiny pieces. I only ate about 2 tablespoons of it. But, alas, I have to let my hubs finish it off. I am back to soupy refried Beans and cottage cheese and Soup tomorrow. I'm such a dork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coleenrenee 66 Posted May 6, 2015 I'm also at the purée stage and I tried to also eat some solid food and lord help me it was the worst experience even though I only had two bites of chicken and I chewed it 30 times ... I think my love of chicken is gone I can't do any meat none purée for sure I have been back on Soup for four days now ... The purée stage is weird ... I wanted to try some chili with no meat and mashed Beans but I'm afraid of the gas. I screwed up and sipped out of a straw before I realized that I had been doing it ... I had gas all in my back .. My husband helped I thought I was sore from swimming (I know it was toon soon for that too) and everytime he pressed on my back I would burp lol ... Lessons ... I now am more conscious of straws it was such a habit pre wls and now you can't pay me to drink out of one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
