Yes, I took a road trip a few weeks ago and had to stop for food, and I got a Chick-Fil-A grilled nuggets kids meal (grilled nuggets & fruit cup). One of the best bariatric-friendly options in fast food.

Just a cup with some cut-up fruit (apples, mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries).

Yes you can. I used to order the 8 piece and make at least 3 meals out of it. Since covid I haven't been there but I could probably eat most of the 4 piece now.

There are several videos on YouTube about this topic, if you search for "fast food for WLS." Here's one that I've seen:

And yes, Wendy's chili is a popular choice. You can find options at most fast food places like salad or a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun. Some places will make you a lettuce wrap sandwich. Jimmy John's even has this on their regular menu. At Taco Bell, you can order a serving of plain meat (or add meat to a side of beans).

Honestly, I don't think it's worth it, but then, I wasn't much of a fast food eater even before surgery. I paid $6.39 for the Chick-Fil-A kids meal, and I could have cooked a chicken breast and cut up some fruit at home for much less. I have a refrigerator and freezer full of easy, healthy food, so I would only eat fast food if I'm on the go. I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten food from restaurants since my surgery.

The reason I ask is I travel a few days each month with my job. About 4 nights out on average. I will not have the convenience of my frig with me :)

What about a dipping sauce for the grilled nuggets. Do any of those work?

I actually planned ahead and brought my own G. Hughes sugar-free BBQ Sauce, but in the absence of that, your best option is the buffalo sauce.

      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.
