Wendy's chili pureed. I bought several preop, pureed them and had them in the freezer for after surgery. I didn't venture to eat any of it until about 1 week or so postop because I was afraid of the spices and/or tomatoes but it was fine. I can't remember how much of it I could eat....maybe a half a cup. A small size is 17 gm of protein and 210 calories.
OMG you almost made me hurl. I'm nearly 3 weeks out (still on mushies) and tried Wendy's chili for the first time today. Brought home a small and puréed it and ate almost a half cup. Let's just say I was constipated but now I am the opposite!!! It tasted great, but my sleeve and intestines were not happy!!! This is the first time I got sick on something I ate since the surgery. Trust me - that was the first time I threw Wendy's chili out in my house. LOL
Cottage cheese is a great source of protein as well. :). I'm also on the mushies/puréed phase and found that cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, soft boiled eggs are the best for higher protein. Hummus also has some protein as well as cream of wheat. I also whipped up a batch of split pea soup with turkey ham in it. Puréed it up and froze some of it into portions. It's high in fiber, low fat/cal, and has a decent amount of protein in it as well. :)
you can also purée chili (turkey or beef) or even stews (chicken or beef) with a little extra stock to thin it out a bit. :)

Would you mind sharing your recipe for the split pea soup w/turkey ham? Sounds yummy!

I used the recipe found on the back of the bag of Goya Split Peas and used turkey ham instead of smoked ham. I also cut the recipe in half, cause there's no way I'm going to be able to eat all of it. Another thing I did was cutout the onions since the doc says they cause lots of gas and thats not good early out. I then seperated it into 1-2 portions and froze some of it so i can take them for lunch to work. :) I sometimes add a bit of Adobo instead of salt to really bring out the flavors. Hope you like it!

Sort and rinse peas. In a 6 to 8 quart pot, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until peas are tender. Add more ho****er if necessary. Top with croutons, chives and pieces of bacon, if desired.
