You can try Wolf Brand turkey chili. It's not too bad. Or get a package of McCormick's chili mix (make sure to grab the low sodium version) or any other mix that strikes your fancy and a pound of ground turkey meat. You usually need either a can of chopped tomatoes or Tomato sauce. Brown the meat, throw in the mix and the tomatoes and it's ready to eat in about 10-15 minutes. It's really tasty. I add some low fat shredded cheese and am in heaven. I'm from Texas so there are no Beans allowed but feel free. They'll just give you even more Protein.< /p>

Hormel 99% fat free turkey chili no Beans has less fat for canned almost as many cals as the Hormel cook off white chicken does though which is fairly good. A recipe may get you best results though as these have 6 grams sugar.

I make my chili:

I pound ground turkey browned in a big pot

Then I add

I can chicken broth

2 cans black Beans

I can diced tomatoes

I small can Tomato paste

I green bell pepper

I red bell pepper chopped into small pieces

I small onion chopped into small pieces

Then I will add chili powder and salt to taste or you can just buy a packet of chili spices and ignore the recipe and dump it in!

My husband and kids love it

Don't know how far out the OP is. When I first got off liquids, I ate Wendy's chili a lot.

I have been eating anti-chili - meat with riced cauliflour and spinnach and butternut squash and lima beans...much better than it sounds!

I use the McCormick pkg. but I add one can of light red kidney Beans and a can of pinto beans. Tastes just like Wendy's without the onions and bell peppers (which I don't care for).

my recipe:

I pound ground turkey browned in a pan. Add cumin, chili powder, oregano, and rosemary. I chop 1 onion (preferably sweet), green pepper and fresh garlic. Let that cook together.

Then in large pot, I add meat mix, can of each: black Beans, red or pinto beans and white beans.

I cheat a little by using 1 large jar of Prego spaghetti sauce. I never measure, but go by taste.

My chili recipe is very simple and from my mother

1 lb of ground turkey or lean beef

2 cans of campbell's Tomato Soup

2 cans of kidney Beans

Cook meat

Mix cans of Soup and kidney Beans together in pot (don't add water). Then add meat to beans and soup. Keep stirring. Cook for about an hour or more, until beans are soft. Add chili pepper, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper. Tastes pretty good to me!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
