I have a couple of questions. I am 2 weeks post-op and my doctor just told me I can start on solid foods. I have been reading on here and I see a lot of people eat Wendy's chili. Can you have any crackers or cheese in the chili? Also, I have been craving Shrimp for the past month. Is that one of those stay away foods?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am just over 2 weeks post op and am allowed to have all of the things you mentioned. I'm acutally still on the soft solid stage and was told I could have any kind of seafood as long as it is baked or broiled. I assume grilled would be ok as well. Also, i was given the ok for low fat cheeses and crackers. Chili is on my approved list as well. I would say if I can have these foods on the soft solid phase that you should be good to have them as solid foods.

Good luck

i'll be on soft solids next week. chili is allowed then for me. the only thing is make sure you measure it..i'm only allowed to eat 4 oz. each meal.

I eat wendy's chili all the time and I always have them add cheese and I crumble up a package or 2 of crackers into it.

I eat the cheese in the chili, but I skip the crackers.

At 2 weeks post-op I wouldn't be eating shrimp yet. It's not necessarily a stay away food, but it is a food some people can't tolerate (gets stuck, cause PB, etc.).. at 2 weeks you really want to avoid a PB.

Dumb question time. What is PB?

Productive Burp- like spit up.... no bile in it.

Some say it's like vomiting.... but not to me.

I was able to eat shrimp 2 weeks out with no problem. I guess it really does depend on the person.
