Ate fast food....

[christinah 14]

I just ate chicken nuggets from chik fil a.

About 3-4. It's been 17 days since my surgery. Is that really bad?

Are there any healthy fast food options you guys eat?

I'm allowed soft food including chicken on day 20. Everyone has a different plan. If you are going to Chick-Fill-A you should have their grilled nuggets, they're delicious.

What circumstances led to you to fast food' at less than three weeks out? What food' stage are you on? Every plan is different, but I was still at puréed at two weeks.

I'm allowed soft food at week 2 so I can eat soft chicken turkey etc.

Fried or grilled nuggets from CFA aren't soft.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that your stomach is healing on the inside. chicken causes more churning to digest and you don't want to risk a leak. The first 6 weeks are critical to heal. Doesn't matter if it was easy.

In answer to your initial question:

Soft fast food is something like refried Beans from Taco Bell.

IN general, fast food isn't particularly healthy, but its certainly easy to make bariatric friendly choices.

1) stay away from anything deep fried. Stick with grilled options. Nothing with breading, no fries, onion rings or tots.

2) stay away from carbs. Order the sandwich but toss the bun. Some places even let you order it "low carb" and they wrap the burger in lettuce. No soda, lemonade, milk shakes, Cookies, pies, or high calorie coffee drinks.

3) salads can be a good choice but be smart about the dressings, croutons, etc.

4) Taco Bell refried Beans, Wendy's chili and soft meats like Arby's roast beef or ham are probably better options for you so soon Postop. Better safe than sorry when it comes your newly stitched and still healing sleeve. I actually wasn't cleared for solid food till 6 weeks postop.

I actually eat fast food 3-4 times/month, but my choices are pretty much pure Protein (and fat - which has never affects my maintenance)

Arby's has turkey, too. I like the turkey gyro without the pita (and sometimes with). If you are on soft mechanical then soft meats like turkey might work.

Grilled chicken would qualify as soft food on my plan and many others.
