Question:
I have read that several people have had good luck with Wendy's Chili.
How long did you wait before trying Wendy's Chili? — Jackie S. (posted on September 25, 2003)

I tried it the first time at about 4 weeks post-op. This was a little
sooner than what my surgeon recommended, but I mainly just sipped the broth
and stayed away from the meat and beans.

I had my first Wendy's chili at 2 wks post-op. Because I was okay to start
pureed foods, and my surgeonm considers wendy's chili a pureed food. Also
if you don't feel comfortable being able to chew it well, then pop it in
the blender for a quick second.

I was about 3 months before I could tolerate it. Once i could I ate it
often as it is very filling and yummy.

Funny you should ask that. I tried some for lunch today. Ate two bites and
got sick. I have eaten Hormel's turkey chili several times with no
problems. By the way, I'm 5 weeks out.

I ate it at about 2 and a half weeks out, but blenderized. I had to pick
out the kidney bean skins too , because they were so tough for me, but now
at two months I eat it plain... I eat the cheese melted in, and about 1/4
of a small chili and that fills me up.

I ate it at 3 wks post-op and blended it for my pureed stage and even put
cheese and mustard in it and then I would take a couple bites on and off
all day. Wendys chili was the only fast food I ate besides taco bells pinto
n cheese. Good luck!

Wendy's chili was one of my favorties at the pureed stage. I would get a
small order and put it in the blender (let it cool down a bit before you
put it in the blender, or you'll have one explosive hot chili mess!). It
would make two nice meals for me. I've had it only twice since going to
regular food, but it's still good, and I've never had any problems with it.
Just be careful to chew the meat and beans well if you're not pureeing it
first. Lap RNY 4/1/03 290/203/168

I am 7 weeks post-op and I tried Wendy's Chili at 3 weeks, What is also
good is the baked potatoe with chili and cheese. I know the potatoe has
carbs, but at 3 to 6 weeks you do not eat enough to matter.

I had Wendy's Chili when I was 16 days post-op and it was great. Couldn't
eat much of it - a 99 cent chili made three or four meals. I depends on
how your surgeon has you eat after surgery. I started on soft foods at 12
days post op.
