Chili might be a stretch at 3 weeks.

What does your post-op diet allow you to have at 3 weeks? I was able to have soft fish and well-cooked veggies at that point. Also, mashed potatoes were allowed for me at that point.

Chili can have a lot of fat. You certainly don't want the dinner celebration to turn into a dumping syndrome nightmare. You need to ask for nutrition guidelines at the restaurant if they are available, before heading to dinner. If you can't find something suitable, get your son the dinner he wants and sip Water. Better than sabotaging yourself or getting sick at this stage.

Not sure that I would do chili 3 weeks out - I'm cleared for that in week 5. I'm at the same place as you and my Dr. allows baked white fish provided it's very moist and mushy veggies. Small bites and chew, chew, chew. Hate to repeat what's already been said but most Soups are a good choice too provided they don't have big pieces of meat or crunchy stuff. Good luck!

Three weeks and you can't do Soup? I'd say a tall glass of Water and enjoy the company. It's a good reminder that not all celebrations need to be centered around food.

Why not start a new tradition and change it up this time around? Mini golf? Bowling? A bounce house place?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
