Super job, Terri! Recommendation: Get some Hormel's Chili and some low-fat cheese. I think there is more protein in that combo than Wendy's, you get more than one meal out of it!

That is great! I'm still not brave enough to try beef... Is Phase 3 soft or regular foods? Have you fallen out of your clothes yet??? Happy for you, Susie

Thanks Greg for that info ..the more protein the better!!!!

Susie - phase 3 is regular food..Wendy's Chili doesn't have that much beef in it..thats the only beef I tried so far..I'm a lil nervous, I am so afraid to dump...

Have a great night .. xox

Congratulations!!

Wendy's chili is awesome and filled with protein and fiber. Also try Taco Bell's pintos and cheese. That has 10g of protein for 1/2 cup. At first I could only eat a few bites when I got on soft foods, but now, 8 weeks out, I can eat the whole container (1/2 cup) easy - i still eat it slow. Also, when you store your leftovers from Wendy's or Taco Bell, transfer it to a gladware or plastic container. It'll be more moist that way and it's better for your pouch. Keep up the good work!! You are doing great!
