Hi i had another fill last week and am now upto 6cc. i have been eating veg and meat mst days and tuna etc, today i had Beans of which was total agony. I have the feeling of choking lowwer down and tears strolled from my eyes> i thought as beans are soft and moist they would be ok, has any1 else had problems with beans? what other foods are problems as i really don;t want this to happen again, this was so frightening.

thanks calligas

I had the same challenge. I was 5 CC's and could eat beans veggie burgers... Got a fill to 6 CC's and could barely eat chicken... I had to go back to puree. 5 CC's is my sweet spot and 6 CC's I couldn't eat enough to lose weight! Good luck!

You are still very new to the band. I would give it some time before you try beans. I am 1 year out and eat beans very often with no problem....I have 6.5 cc in my band and feel very tight. Some foods I have probs with are soft lettuce, breads that are not toasted, some meats .....the key is to chew chew chew. Your mouth is now part of you digestive system, so chew at least 20x with each bite of any problem food. Good luck to you on your journey!

I have brown Beans & chillli. Most of the time no problem as I love them! Occasssionally when I am tight around 5CC's no go. This last weekend a friend made chilli with kidney beans & lots of onion. No go either. I just keep trying as everyday is different. Hope all is well!

You should try white beans (great white northern) I had them from a previous surgury ...they taste better and less gas

The strangest things can be hard, often there is no rhyme nor reason to it. I can eat bread - easily at that - but really struggle with yogurt. And pureed fruit is MUCH harder for me than fresh fruit. I can eat a raw carrot but tomato does me in. Its so weird.
