How long did you wait to try chili?

I'm not sure if people have heard of tajin I use to love putting that on my fruit and I want some. But I'm scared to try it.

It's chili powder with lemon. It's not really spicy.

I tried chili (blended) very early out with no problems. Just try a little to make sure it's well tolerated and only if you're far enough along in your program

I'm 1 month and 2 weeks out.

I tried canned chili (Hormel) about two months post-op and didn't tolerate it well at all.

Tried Wendy's chilli about a month later and it was great, no issues! Still get it every now and then, when weather is cool.

I'm a little over 10 months post-op and eat anything I want now, albeit much less quantity...which is a good thing! Ate crawfish yesterday, for the first time since my surgery. It was hot/spicy and tasted great! No issues with the spices.

Good luck!

I think you will be fine. I had shredded buffalo chicken when I turned 4 weeks and had no problems and I never stopped using spices once I started my puréed stage.

at the pureed stage I used tajin on my cottage cheese, it was the only way I could get it down. I had no issues at all, and I was about 3 weeks out.

Chili is my staple food, I don't remember how soon I stated eating it. I like it spicy w/lots of flavor so I routinely add hot salsa or chopped jalapeño's to it. I also love spicy humus (I eat it w/a spoon). I've never had any trouble w/ spicy foods. It packs a lot of flavor in a little bit food. :-)

once I could eat normal foods post op I ate wolf brand chili with shredded cheese melted on it.. then I started eating Wendy's chili, Chic Filet chicken tortilla Soup and diet lemonade .. sometimes I can get chicken nuggets but the grilled are too dry for me.

I haven't tried any restaurant chili, but I have made my own and have had no problem...I am a little over 8 weeks out and like mine spicy as well and with oyster crackers and enjoyed a small bowl two days in a row. Didn't even do the puree stage stuff...grossed me out...LOLRH!!! So when I was able I did go ahead and made some and tried it with a back-up food in reserve just in case! It stayed down with no problem. Some can tolerant certain foods while others can't-hope you can enjoy chili though...really good protein food. Best wishes!!!

I am three months out and ate my first crawfish last week, I could have cared less about the 5 buck a pound price tag bc all I could eat was 9 crawfish shy of a pound

I had Wendy's chili at week 8 with no problems. (no added cheese or onions)
