Chili
I am three weeks post-op and am eating soft foods. Just wondering if chili can be eaten during this phase or do I have to wait until I am on regular foods. It is canned turkey chili with beans. I will get another kind if I am able to eat this at this time. Any help or ideas of other foods to eat would be great.
Thanks, Christine
Christine,
Congrats on your surgery!!! Welcome to the losers bench!!! You might want to check with your dr or NUT but I believe I had some Wendy's Chili at 3 weeks out. I ate it very slowly & chewed it really well. Go easy with the ground beef - sometimes it doesn't sit well or so I am told - I didn't seem to have any problems with it!!! If you can get them to add shredded cheese it's extra protein too!! Good luck!!

I ate Wendy's Chili as well as the canned turkey chili with beans while I was on the soft foods. It always tasty and seemed to go down easily. I am currently 3 months out and eat chili at least once a week.
Did you try refried beans? I had them with some low-fat cheese, fat free sour cream, and some salsa. Heat in the microwave so the cheese melts. Tastes delicious! I also made meatballs alot and mashed them up.
Congratulations on your surgery! Glad to have another loser in the group!
