Turkey Chili

Hey there, I tried something new today... Hormels Turkey Chili (W/O beans). It has 24g of protien per serving. I could only eat about 1/2 of a cup but added a little bit of cheese and microwaved it. Not bad! Felt like a treat since I am not allowed to add anything other than protien until 1/13/07.

I LOVE turkey chili! With cheese of course! Glad you found something new and yummy!

I have seen that... I am gonna have to get me some and indulge.... I am getting so sick of yogurt, peanut butter and spam, that is about all that is setting on my tummy... Shawn M.

I havent tried peanut butter... I heard so many dumping stories... how do eat the peanut butter? (Doesnt that sound dumb??) Are you allowed crackers?

My doc said no peanut butter because its a high fat protein but guess what, when its the only thing that goes down sometimes, I say better higher (good type) fat than no protein at all. When I am having a really bad eating day (not enough) I just take a tablespoon of it and eat it like that, I use simply jiff.. low sugar and stuff and I don't have too many problems. hope this helps.

For my diet I am allowed 2 - 3 saltine crackers so sometimes I eat the peanut butter on that, sometimes I just eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. I buy the reduced fat peanut butter. But unlike other protein where I am allowed 2 oz. I am only allowed 1 oz. of peanut butter. I am sure this is because of how high in fat it is. Hope that helped. Shawn M.

Can turkey chili be considered a soft food? I know ground beef isn't but maybe ground turkey could be. I'm still suppose to be soft foods until 9 weeks post-op.
