I'm really hungry and bough some tripe, but now i'm thinking it might not be chewable. Has any BANDit here eaten that? I do t wanna touch it until I know.

take small bites, chew alot (to mush) and go slow (also moist would help)

should be no issue...

I have no idea what Tripe is, but is it allowed on your post op diet? It's definitely not a liquid or mushy food. According to your profile, it's only been a little over 2 weeks since your surgery.

Tripe is an animals stomach lining

I had a cup of menudo the other day just to take the craving away! It went down fine. I just took small bites and chewed the hell out of it.

I would put it through the blender on puree.... Tastes the same and no worries.

Probably not a good idea without pureeing it. It doesn't chew down into mush, no matter how much you chew it. Would not be a fun food to get stuck!

I only eat my mother's tripe. When I told her this past June that I was getting banded, I knew right then that I would never again have her tripe. I knew it because tripe is not something that could be chewed completely. I would not even dare try it! Good luck to you.

No it's not allowed, but my only other options were vegetable rice, potatoes, spare ribs (yumm) and chicken cutlet.

The tripe was surprisingly SOFT and I was able to chew it to a mush. I only had 3/4 cup. Just enough to hold me out until we came back to civilization and I could get something else. My whole day was planned out, I was supposed to stay home all day and cook my chicken Soup for the week while doing laundry and go food shopping but hubby had made plans in his HEAD that I only found out about this morning.... That's why I wasn't prepared. But it won't happen again.

What's menudo? As far as I know, it's a boy band from the 80's

Or "change" in your pocket. LoL

It's a Mexican soup that is usually tripe and hominy with spices.

Ohhhhhhh

Ohhhhhh.
