A few months ago I went to preop classes w my friend who is having bypass next week. They said one of the good things durng mushies is well blended Wendys chili. Has anyone heard/tried this???

I am sooo excited about going to mushies tomorrow..I can barely stand myself

wow ur already starting mushies! Im soooo jealous

Yes...I love Wendy's chili....If you are on mushy stage...great idea to put into blender. Also try refried Beans with salsa/chicken stock blended....another keeper is Sloppy joe in the blender....YUM!

Wendys chili the best. I also did pinto n cheese from taco bell.

Yep,

I keep looking at my manual. I am soooo afraid of eating the wrong thing. My doctor had 3 day clear liquid preop, first week Clear liquids (with Protein drinks) and week 2-4 mushies. I have a postop appt tomorrow at 9AM. I will verify this with the surgeon before I go shopping.

I tried alot of chili during my mushie stage and I have to say Wendy's was the best tasting. Hmmm that sounds good right now!!!!

Yep Wendy's chili is "da bomb" Even now many months later I order it

Absolutely! I never tried Wendy's, but I did homemade chili several times. It is awesome on a saltine!

My doctor allowed saltines during mushies. They made the mushy stage for me. Mushies sound a little too much like baby food. Ick. But dip! Well, I can seriously get into dips.

Just be careful if you are watching carbs. It's easy to get carried away with the saltines. (I use the multi-grain ones, btw.)

A small Wendy's chili (only eat about half at a time) is my quickie. I love it. I never did blend it, even on the mushie stage I just chewed it well. I really feel in touch with my band and my body, so I kind of know what I can do and can't do and pick up on any signals as I am going.

Wendy's Chili is one of my favorite things to have since being banded. It tastes great...very filling...and at 210 calories and 15 G protein in a small how can ya beat it! I indulge at least once a week.

With Wendy's chili also pick up a side salad and make a taco salad...YUMMO

There will be enough for 2 meals.

I have heard wonderful things about Wendy's chili and I'm not surprised considering all the protien in it. I always laughed at my mom who ate it everytime we went there (while I was eating greasy breaded chicken sandwiches and "super-sized" fries) and since she follows weight watchers I know it's a healthy/low-calorie food choice. I will definately be getting it in the future when I can eat solids :thumbup:

Wendy's chili is one of my favorite things in the world...pre-banding I ate it all the time...but never thought of it as something for the mushy stage!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still have 2 more weeks of liquids but now I have some mushy food to dream of...pureed chicken just wasnt doing it for me :thumbup:

2 WEEKS TILL WENDY'S YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

This is the BEST thread! I am on my way to Wendy's right now to get a chili.

Thanks!!!

I'm so excited never thought that way about wendys before.
