Hormel turkey with beans chili- Is this a bad idea?



Recommended Posts

As you can see in my user name, I live in Korea and choices are limited.

I've always loved chili (especially Wendy's) before I moved to Korea.

Anyways, I found some hormel in Korea. Now it has become my regular Breakfast and dinner.

Hormel turkey with beans- Is it a bad idea?

I know that they contain alot of sodium but I am always craving spicy or salty rather than anything else.

I would appreciate honest feedback. Thanks.

Hi,

I eat the canned chili and find it a good source of Protein that sits well.

OMG! I love Korean Food!! I am still on full liquids, but would LOVE just a bite of Chop Chae right about now.

I think Chili is a wonderful food source. It has the Protein and the Fiber all in one.

Any chance you could find the ingredients to make your own?

You would then know exactly what is in it.

I wish you well and good luck!

I eat Hormel Chili too. Not a lot because I just started on soft foods but it sat well with me and I thought it was a good source of Protein. I have seen others post that they eat a lot of chili. Hormel is the lowest fat/calorie chili too so that is good.

I eat wendy's chili all of the time. i think as long as you drink your Water to flush all that salt out you will be fine!

Kelly ;)

That is exactly what I've been trying to do. I hate plain Water and they don't sell crystal light so I water down my daily 2 packets of iced coffee to the max. Thanks Kelly :D

Thanks for your reply. I am more than 2 months out and I have never been able to eat slowly. I usually eat within 10 minutes. This was the only thing that sat well and satisfied me eventhough I eat so fast. Maybe I shoudn't add the dash of tabasco but it makes it so much better. Spicy doesn't bother me eventhough my doctor urges me not eat so spicy. I must have a Korean sleeve.:D

OMG! Chop Chae is my absolute favorite,too!

Unfornately I am not allowed until 3 months out which is about 20 days away.

One piece of advice, when you do eat chop chae on the solid stage, be careful. The noodles used in chop chae really bloat up and expand in your stomach.

The ingredients needed to cook chili are not really available in Korea, bummer.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am only 70 days out so I eat about 1/5 of a can at once. By the way, I think I've seen some of your posts or replies, I really enjoyed them. Always short, sweet and to the point!:D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
