Probably not a great thing to eat chili (pureed, but chili nonetheless) 3 days after my first fill. I never had gas pains post-op, and now I understand what everyone was talking about.

lol band pay back we all get it

LOL! Did exactly the same thing. A hard lesson learned.

Yep, what I don't get is how many people seem to eat refrained beans... I cannot do them at all.

I've never had that issue.... I love refried beans... Tons of protein! I'm sorry you're all gassy. Try some gas x?

I tried retried beans and thought I was going to die!!! Gas x didn't help either and I love refrained beans!!!

I am sorry you've learned about gas pains. As you know, I was just miserable with them post surgery. Since my first fill I continue to eat a variety of Beans -retried, kidney, cannelloni, whatever- lots of Protein and a great addition for the Fiber. I hope I don't experience what others are describing after my next fill.
