Every time I eat refried beans I get a stabbing pain in my stomach, with every single bite. Today was the 2nd time I tried them. I thought maybe the first go was a one time deal...but that was a negative. Anyone else have "painful foods"?

is it too thick maybe?

could be too thick. I watered mind down so it was soupy, and I added some shredded cheddar and sour cream. I still love it. My hubs eats my leftovers for chip dip.

How far out are you? Refried beans are kinda thick. Maybe your new tummy isn't ready for it yet.

I'm 12 days post op. Didn't think about the thickness... I bet ya'll are right though. I guess I've been having so much mental trouble with missing "Normal" food that the beans were a big hit to my brain, but not my stomach. ????

Retried beans were not in my plan until I reached the full protein week which was week four. I think you started the beans way too early.

They are listed as a week 2 food in my book, and the NUT recommend them. However! I agree with you!!! I'm staying away!
