Fast Food



Recommended Posts

So when you have to do fast food what choices do you make? I decided on subway turkey on wheat today. I only ate a quarter of the bread along with the turkey and veggies. Boring....

I don't have a set place I go to. I look mainly for cost. Wendy's has a good dollar menu.

I can not handle sonic food for some reason, but love their ice and ice tea.

Unless I have absolutely no other choice than my to go fast food would be off that special list DL sent everybody.

I go for grilled chicken (forget the bread, no good), fruit cup, Wendy's chili, grilled chicken salad (lettuce usually ends up in the trash), chicken Soups (I ask for extra broth and less noodles), oatmeal cup, apple slices (BK), deli wraps, chicken wraps.

You know, whatever is safe and doesn't scream loaded in fat or dumping time.

I do not eat fast food but if I had no other choice I would go for the salads, or grilled chicken etc. etc. The FF places are offering more healthy choices now.

I go for grilled chicken and toss the bun. I'll even do jr cheeseburgers and just toss the bun. I eat Chick-fil-a grilled nuggets and Wendy's chili. Nothing from Taco Bell. I do have my mister get extra mild sauce. I put it on Beans and meat at home and it makes authentic Taco Bell tasting food I can actually eat. The fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonald's. I've eaten a few fried chicken strips. Popeyes has naked chicken too.

Try the jimmy johns unwich- no bread and wrapped in lettuce, I have found food to eat at practically all fast food places except Taco Bell. I am also grain free so I order. Side salad and whatever burger or chicken and toss bun and put on top of salad. Favorite is McDonald side salad and deluxe quarter pounder no mayo, no cheese and cut up veggies and toss with salad---also the New York dog in a boat no bun at Sonic

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
