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.

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 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.

      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.
