So I’m on 3 weeks post op and doc said I could start soft foods like cottage cheese eggs etc... I tried some retried Beans and didn’t feel great. My stomach kinda hurt and intestines kind of felt weird . Sams with a bit if guac? Any suggestions? Is it just the fat content? Or what! Anyone else?

I don't know what it is but my stomach did not like the Beans at 3 weeks either. I have tried again and they were ok but I didn't have much. Maybe for me it's that I didn't really like beans even before surgery. I am one month post op.

I’ve tried eating the Beans with a touch of guacamole, and I got diarrhea both times.

I think your stomach maybe isn't ready yet. Try again in a couple of days that's what I did and the second time it was fine I actually did the same Beans and guacamole.

My dietitian recommended I move to ground beef, turkey, and chicken (I was complaining about feeling hungry), so I had a plain Five Guys cheeseburger, no bun, for dinner. It didn’t sit right, but I kept it down ok and felt all right after a while. Then again, the Protein Shake didn’t sit right the first time I had one, so maybe it just takes time.

No stomach pain, just intestinal pain.

Beans are super dense, I still can't eat refried beans without thinning them (sour cream works well). Try lighter things first like yogurt, scrambled eggs, chicken salad etc. if something doesn't go down well just try it again a week or two later.

How is everyone doing? Almost 4 weeks!

Starting solids in a few days. I am wondering if you feel more restrictive?

Water, liquids go down easy.. too .. purée can do 5 oz or more ??but I don’t ..

Does anyone know if broth can count as water?

Thanks
