Fast Food For Bandsters!!!

[mdlapband 30]

Hey Y'all! I just saw Chick Fil A featured on the news because they are offering healthier kids meal options and they seem to be perfect for bandsters.

I just wrote about a blog about it ... so rather than retyping it all again... here's the link:

Wow didn't know of their new menu items. Haven't had chickfila since my surgery in Oct. so I am looking forward to it! Thanks!

I go there often! I've got three kids and they love their fruit cups with their chicken. It's a lot healthier then Mcdonald s!

I am going to read it now-I like fast food but can't do most of it. Wendy's chile works and so does taco bell- i order just 1 taco and it goes down great. Also McDonald's chicken wrap-minus the wrap. It's really hard because I can't eat much for lunch. I met my firend for an after work drink and appetizer. We order the nachos with beef and that went down great too. I am always looking for something that I can handle. Most times when I go out to eat I whine up bringing most of the food home.

At KFC I get grilled chicken breast and pull of the skin; half the corn on the cob and green Beans or mashed no gravy.

Hello All,

My favorite fast food/restaurant seem to be Red Lobster. Its really not fast food but thats my restaurant of choice these days. I order the crab and spinach dip with chips and 1 pound of crab legs and i have no problems. All goes down well, I also eat at Taco bell and I love the Soup from Chick Fill-A.

The kids meal from chick fil a is perfect for me. I got the grilled chicken nuggets and the portion is perfect. For the drink i got unsweet tea with no ice and save it for 1 hr after my meal.

Daphne's Greek Cafe now has a wrap sandwich that is available in gyros, chicken, and something else..steak maybe? Very good! They will also let you order off of the child's menu with no questions.

I also tried the grilled nuggets from Chick-Fil-A and they were yummy!!! I added the fruit salad with them and could only eat a little of that. I am still after 2 months having a hard time with fresh fruits and veggies. Red Lobster is one of my favorite restaurants now...they have a grilled selection dinner that has grilled shrimp, scallops and chicken. I eat the shrimp, scallops and half of the steamed broccoli, and take the chicken and rest of the broccoli home for lunch the next day. If I need a quick lunch on the go, Taco Bell has pinto Beans with cheese which is loaded with Protein and goes down easy.

I stay away from FF as much as possible b/c it was one of my worst habits pre-band. When I do eat it, it is Wendy's chili or a Chipotle vegetarian bown with black Beans. The kids' meals at Chick-Fil-A sound like a good option, especially since I am not a huge fan of chicken. It's something I can eat and get my nutrition when I am out, but I won't enjoy it so much that I will abuse it.

OMG!!! Tried their chicken Soup while at the mall and I am in love! It was so good and a little spicy too! Next time I go I am going to get a few extras and freeze them! I didn't use the ag of toppings to save on calories. Thanks again for the heads up!

Holy Moly, 17 pounds from goal already? You go, Girl!!

[NJGirl32 43]

Cindy you made me smile! lol Keep in mind that my goal weight is 175! lol I think I have lost only 10 pounds in the last 3 months so it's slowing up. I am at 192 now-so next month I might get another fill-but I still have restriction. How are you?!
