I am 12 days post op ..feel pretty good internally, does anyone know if I can eat beans? or is it to soon? they are high in protein and I am kinda sick of protein shakes. or should I have the oldie but goodie ..soup?

I was sleeved on 1/16 and it is not yet on my approved list of food (on full liquids now) but someone (on here) told me I could get bean soup and purée it but beans cause gas so I don't know if I would risk it. I am allowed creamed soups but I am not sure that liquefying bean soup in my blender would count as a creamed soup.

I am allowed low fat refried beans starting next Friday though!

At 14 days my NUT allowed pureed food and refried beans, bean soup, pureed chili beans fit the bill as well as yogurt, ricotta cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, etc. Also hot cereal.

I didn't try Beans (refried) until the 3rd week when I was cleared for the puree portion of my post-op diet. But I didn't think to try them until then either. I have not had a problem with refried beans mixed with some pureed beef or chicken and salsa. I played it safe though when I tried them (or any food), I eat 1/2 teaspoon, wait 5 minutes and see how my stomach feels. Then I eat another 1/2 tsp, wait 5 minutes. If everything feels okay after 10 minutes I am pretty sure I can eat more.

I am just getting to the point where I can eat small bites of chicken that hasn't been run through the blender.

Wait till week 3 to the blendables- I put those white cannolini beans in almost everything - they have more Fiber then kidney beans. Fat free cottage cheese has 12g of protein per serving !!! Definitely a treat!
