I am on soft foods as of right now... I tried fat free refried Beans the other day and they were definitely a no go...

but I seem to be able to eat pinto beans in Soups.

any idea why I can eat one but not the other? it just seems really odd to me.

@@catlover2565 Probably because of the density of refried beans, plus our sleeves can be very picky at times. You may not have a problem next time you try.

No. Sometimes the belly just gets picky. A few weeks further down the road and the tummy may not mind refried beans.

You could just be burned out

Odd will be your new normal......

I used to put some tea in my glass of sugar......now I drink totally unsweetened tea & it tastes sweet to me.....hmmmm...odd. but it works for me

Try loosening them up with a bit of water.

I noted that you said fat free, as a label reader I learned long ago that most of the time "fat free" will also have higher sugar. Could you be sensitive to sugar? I know someone who has the sleeve and post op became very sugar sensitive.

Our sleeves can be weird at times. For example, I can eat Old Elpaso salsa with nary a grumble, but try eating Taco Bell taco sauce and Frankensleeve will seize up and feel like I'm trying to digest rocks!!!!

Thanks! They tasted sooooo good at the time! I havent had issues with other things that have sugar in them.. and I just checked they have less than a gram of sugar.. I might try thinning them out some with broth or Water...

I also had an issue with egg beaters. I am gonna try regular scrambled eggs tomorrow... IF I can get the courage up to try eggs again right now... Not too sure I will do it tomorrow though.. the idea of puking on my birthday kinda makes me want to wait a bit longer..

I couldn't tolerate retried beans when I was on purees. Now I tolerate them fine.

I have not had problems with any foods, but most people I've spoken to (and also those that stated in this thread) is that our tolerance generally gets better and better. Most people say that after roughly a year they can eat any food they want without upset. So don't get discouraged! It'll get better and better!

Try thinnng the refrieds with a little milk, or water. Mexi restaurants frequently use milk

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to those that suggested thinning out the refried beans!! I CAN eat them that way!!

So.. THANKS!!
