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.
