My family is making chli tonight and I would love to have some! I'm on the puree stage of things. Does anyone have any advice on how good pureed chili goes down?

Yes, yes you can and it still tastes yummy. Like a thick stew or soup. Have at it!

As long as the puree is about the size of a pencil eraser, you shouldn't have any problems. You
just might want to make sure it isn't too spicy. Chili was one of my mainstays, as well as refried
beans w/cheese & mild salsa.

Enjoy!

I didn't eat it when I was on pureed foods but I would think it would probably work very well. I didn't want to puree anything that wasn't normally at least sort of that texture, if that makes sense. Like, I ate refried beans and ricotta cheese and applesauce because I didn't have to puree them, they are normally that consistency. But chili wouldn't seem weird pureed to me.

It depends on your surgeon's plan for you. My pureed phase does not allow for beans...if yours does than Have at it! Enjoy! :)

Chili was one of the prefered foods my surgeon wanted me to eat. I had to ma**** up or puree it because the bean skins can get stuck. Also taking your iron with a tomato based product helps you absorb it according to my NUT. I ate it at 1 week out.

My surgery was on the 5th and I am still on the pureed stage as well and when I went in for my appointment yesterday my NUT said that pureed chili was fine. My hubby made some this past week so I have been enjoying that this week. I start soft foods next Friday and I am really looking foward to that. LOL
