Recommended Posts

You know what's funny I really try not to eat from fast food ,but I had my Mother bring me back a Jr bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's & a small chili , well I took the bun off because I personally can't do bread ,but I had to jump on the scale the next day I know I know lol but I had a Doctor's appointment & I had lost 3lbs ,so I was wondering if I did that for a week maybe I would lose more because of the Protein oh by the way some one else has ate my chili Lol ,so Idk if it's because I had drank my protein, & Water all day & only had that burger is what made me lose a bit more.

Someone said that Chick-Filet has some great Soups, especially the tortilla chicken?

They also have grilled nuggets and fruit bowls!

I love chipotle (burrito bowl, no rice) and jimmy johns (unwich). I also have gone to which wich, but thats not as fast. When I'm in a pinch i've done grill chicken wrap from Sonic & just ate the chicken. I've also had a whopper from burger king, but that was before any fills. Now i have problems with burger patties.

I could make this into a topic on the "Rant and Rave" forum :angry:

I never really get mad at my wife but sometimes I get my heart set on eating some leftover food only to find she's gobbled it up. Wasn't so bad before I started fasting but now I'm like totally starving by 6 pm and BAM, where the H### is that tenderloin steak I partially ate 3 nites ago. "Oh, that little chunk of heaven, I took it to work for lunch"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! B) :P

Here we go lol sounds like when WE went through our pre op & banister h___., apparently I was full from last night ,because when I got up this afternoon I tried to drink a 8 oz glass of milk & only could take 4 sips before that band signal said NO more, now that it's dinner ,I had a 1/2 of a chicken thigh & it said that's it your full , now I have to wait , before I can drink any Water ,but I will keep drinking my Water till I get the signal that's enough , yes I even get it on water , so we will see what happens.

I rely on fast food for lunch breaks and sometimes for Breakfast. Occasionally dinner. That habit isn't likely to significantly change. What must change are the food choices from those places. I've made these band friendly choices so far: Wendy's chili Subway chopped salads Not so good for weight loss so saying buh-bye for now (saying buh-bye forever is too sad): Popeye's chicken strips (fried) Starbucks mozzarella and Tomato panini (carb-y) I know I am not alone. Many of us rely on takeout for our meals. What are your band friendly choices?

I never ate fast food. My grandsons always complain. I don't leave hone without Protein Bars. Good luck with your choices

you all suck, I have been driving bye all these places telling myself, these people have lost and have done so well. they would never have fast food. they have all been good patients, they stick to the plan, they would never step foot in those kind of places. So I drive and drive till I get home to grab a cheese stick or peach to hold me over for dinner or grab a Protein shake. LOL this is a lot of fun..

I'm too lazy to read all these so here is my list...sorry for repeats!

McDonald's oatmeal is awesome (BK? not so much)

Wendy's chili

Wendy's baked potato (although I dont really like their potatoes)

Subway salad

McD's yogurt parfaits

Chik-fil-a chicken salad is good and you can probably get a scoup without the bread.< /p>

Taco bell chicken cantina bowls that are pretty great

Arbys I go for the french dip bc that helps soggy up the bread, still not the best choice though!

Qdoba I always get the naked burritos (no shell)

Long Johns or other seafood places I just get whatever the grilled options are!

This is all I can think of right now

I rarely ever eat fast food anymore. I keep Protein bars with me at all times. I always have at least 2 or 3 of them in my purse and I have a whole ziplock bag full of them in my work tote/bag that I bring to work with me every day. However, when I must eat fast food my favorite choices are:

  • Wendy's Chili
  • Arby's Roast Turkey sandwich(no bun)
  • Wendy's Grilled chicken Wrap(I don't eat the wrap)
  • Long John Silver's Grilled shrimp

If I eat at any other fast food place, I just try to find some sort of grilled chicken sandwich(or wrap) and I order it without the bun(or wrap) or toss the bun/wrap when I get it.

Your local chinese food restaurant. Get a stir fry, then keep the left over veg and sauce, add your own Protein and it is instant lunch for another day

Let's see ... Mmmm yesterday I had the most wonderful 6oz steak from Outback Steak house...to die for, but about the subject, I can easily get stock with anything I put in my mouth but KFC fried crispy wings ...I have my weakness too, but of course if I go over 2 little wings I am in trouble. Believe me I enjoy those two wings, I eat them to the bone. Guilty!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
