Chili was my go to meal too post-op. I never had problems like you did but it was so good to eat. You'll feel better every day.

I am one year out on the 13th of July and Chili is my go to still. I make it at home but do ok with it at a restaurant. The crock pot has turned into my best friend!

Hi All, I make chili about 3x per month, have made it with all meat types, and by far my favorite is 90% lean ground beef. I get lots of compliments and requests to make it for others. Here is my super easy recipe:

• 1lb ground meat (90% beef is my choice)
• 1 packet chili mix (Old El Paso is also my favorite and gluten free)
• 1 jar of Newman's Mild Salsa
• 1 can petite diced tomatoes (15 oz or so)
• 1 can dark red kidney Beans, drained and rinsed (15 oz or so)
• 1 can corn if desired, drained
• equivalent of 3/4 can of Water

1. Brown/cook meat.
2. Drain Fat
3. add the rest of the ingredients
4. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently
5. cover and cook on low as to not burn the bottom for 1 hour or until the chili turns a nice thick maroon color.

the nutrition on this is:

1 oz is 24 calories and 2 grams of Protein.

You are only 3 eeeks out, right? This is way too much/heavy for 3 weeks out. How about split pea Soup and the like?
I'm 3 months out and have just regained my energy for hiking.
You'll get there, just give it time..

So I took your advice on the food and it definitely helped with three pain. I also took my Premier Protein shakes that's you sweet for me now and blended it with a handful of frozen strawberry and drank the whole thing with no pain. This will definitely help me to reach my Protein goal. Thanks so much.
