Started puréed foods today and blended up some yummy refried beans with just a sprinkle of cheese. I put it in a two oz container and was so excited to eat them. I took two tiny little bites within like 15 minutes and got such a weird feeling in my stomach/chest. Could I really be full???

Oh no! It sounds like you're full. This makes me so sad. I start full liquids tomorrow and am dying to get to puréed just for the refried Beans. Sigh.

Of course, I guess it's a good thing, right?

Same here!! MY MOUTH WAS WATERING, 2nd bite, I FELT LIKE I.WANTED TO BURP BUT IT WSS STUCK....YES HONEY YOUR Full lol. IT GETS A LITTLE BETTER I HEAR, GOOD LUCK.

Yep, sounds about right to me. When I started puréed two bites would make me full for hours, so it was hard to drink all my fluids. Same thing with the transition to soft foods. I would drink most of my 64oz in the morning, eat two tbls of something mid afternoon and be stuffed till bedtime. It will get better... I could finally eat 1/4 -1/2 cup at 3 months out.

Yep, couple of bites is the limit at first. Your new stomach is still swollen and needs more time to heal. I was so happy when I was full after only 2 bites!

Oh my goodness..I really hope this gets better! I hope I don't feel full for so long because I am soooo thirsty! I even waited a full hour after drinking to even start making the beans! Man, I wish it would've gone better

Oh don't get me wrong I'm happy that I am full off such a little amount, just didn't think it would make me feel this full! I feel like I just ate a HUGE meal!!

Refried beans weren't allowed on my puréed because they told me they cause too much discomfort that early. Sounds like that's what happened to you.

Lol.............. Sorry to laugh but I remember those days........... I'm 5 months out and yes it gets better....... It's the first time in awhile ur body had some food..... Take everything day by day... Cause each day things are going to change.........

^{I am the same way but Im 3 plus months out. I guess its a good thing - A bit frustrating some times and I wonder if its typical or if there is something odd about me lol. Some times I worry that I will not get enough nourishment. I find that if I eat more frequent "meal" if I can call them meals - I feel better. Things have gotten easier for me but still not easy. I have lost a bunch of weight however so I guess its all good.}

^{Anyone know if this will stay with me forever or if things will change? again... not sure I care ... just curious!!}

Sounds about right. I could literally feel food going down. It would feel like it was stuck and if I waited a minute it would go down. I think it was the swelling. Now I hiccup when I am full and it tells me to stop.

When I started the soft food stage I wanted refried beans soooo bad so they were one of the first things I tried. They were NOT my friend. I haven't tried them again yet but I can tell you that other things either felt way better going down or I could get more down. Good luck!

Add a few teaspoons of water to your beans to thin them, or some sour cream if you like it. It helps them slide down easier. But as mentioned above, sounds right! Welcome to the world of bird like eating. It's very freeing.

I am the same way! I don't know how they expect me to get all of my protein in by food alone at 6 weeks out. The diet is impossible with 64oz of liquids and 60-70 grams of protein daily. I have to have at least 1 shake daily to supplement my protein and I'm still not getting it all in.
