I ate Wendy's chilli 6 weeks out. I'm 2 months post-op and having trouble eating chicken but no problem with beef.

I think tho the texture might be ok for the soft food stage...remember its loaded with soduim

Ok, now you're making me want Chili, LOL 🙂 I think that's a question best for your Nutritionist, but when on soft foods, headed to regular - probably fine. I looked it up (small one) & only reason I wouldn't have it all the time is too high in sodium. But on occasion should be Ok. Ideal would be to make some turkey chili at home & you can control the sodium. Also could do veggie chili options.

I used to love Wendy's chili. I used to order a small with a baked potato. It was a cheaper and healthier meal compared to a burger and fries. I would have it now if I wanted it, but only every once in a while. Like a poster above, I would rather make my own. I like using veggie crumbles and 2 kinds of Beans in mine. Way leaner and lighter.

If I could only get over my habit of making a big pot at once, I would make some. My freezer is already filled with leftovers. I need to work on those before I can make anything else that we can't finish in 1 meal.

I was super late for work today and didn’t grab anything for lunch today. I remembered this post and grabbed one during lunch from Tim Hortons (a Canadian version of Dunkin Donuts). I am 4 weeks post op. So far so good, hopefully I don’t get dumping later [emoji1431]
I was able to eat way more than 2 oz. though. Is this considered a slider food?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
