OKay... so I went to Wendy's today, 6 days post op, and purchased a small chilli.

Brought it home and diluted it with a cup of Water. Ate half cup at lunch... ate other half at dinner. 17g of Protein in it!!!

I guess I feel horribly guilty because its real food and from a fast food restaurant. I only got it because I know it to be a very "watery" chilli!

I need something with a taste. These Protein shake concocktions are killing me!!!!

ANyone else try something like this?:phanvan

Well my Dr allows soft foods after the first week (pureed the first) so I had chili the 7th day post op.

Im jealous...I have to be on Clear liquids for 4 weeks post op. I have about ..say..3 weeks to go.

Id say if you didnt over eat..and watered it down..then no, i wouldnt say its a cheat...unless your Dr's said to stay on liquids longer...

Keep strong...stay the course..

I am calling it a chilli Soup in my journal logging as it pretty much was...

Thanks all for helping me to feel better... it was a soup. I am allowed soup.
