Hormel turkey with beans chili- Is this a bad idea?



Recommended Posts

As you can see in my user name, I live in Korea and choices are limited.

I've always loved chili (especially Wendy's) before I moved to Korea.

Anyways, I found some hormel in Korea. Now it has become my regular Breakfast and dinner.

Hormel turkey with beans- Is it a bad idea?

I know that they contain alot of sodium but I am always craving spicy or salty rather than anything else.

I would appreciate honest feedback. Thanks.

Hi,

I eat the canned chili and find it a good source of Protein that sits well.

OMG! I love Korean Food!! I am still on full liquids, but would LOVE just a bite of Chop Chae right about now.

I think Chili is a wonderful food source. It has the Protein and the Fiber all in one.

Any chance you could find the ingredients to make your own?

You would then know exactly what is in it.

I wish you well and good luck!

I eat Hormel Chili too. Not a lot because I just started on soft foods but it sat well with me and I thought it was a good source of Protein. I have seen others post that they eat a lot of chili. Hormel is the lowest fat/calorie chili too so that is good.

I eat wendy's chili all of the time. i think as long as you drink your Water to flush all that salt out you will be fine!

Kelly ;)

That is exactly what I've been trying to do. I hate plain Water and they don't sell crystal light so I water down my daily 2 packets of iced coffee to the max. Thanks Kelly :D

Thanks for your reply. I am more than 2 months out and I have never been able to eat slowly. I usually eat within 10 minutes. This was the only thing that sat well and satisfied me eventhough I eat so fast. Maybe I shoudn't add the dash of tabasco but it makes it so much better. Spicy doesn't bother me eventhough my doctor urges me not eat so spicy. I must have a Korean sleeve.:D

OMG! Chop Chae is my absolute favorite,too!

Unfornately I am not allowed until 3 months out which is about 20 days away.

One piece of advice, when you do eat chop chae on the solid stage, be careful. The noodles used in chop chae really bloat up and expand in your stomach.

The ingredients needed to cook chili are not really available in Korea, bummer.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am only 70 days out so I eat about 1/5 of a can at once. By the way, I think I've seen some of your posts or replies, I really enjoyed them. Always short, sweet and to the point!:D

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
