Favorite Band Friendly Fast Food Go To



Recommended Posts

For Breakfast I like the steak and egg burrito at Carl’s Jr. (minus the tortilla). For lunch/dinner I get the chili at Quiznos or the chicken taco (minus the tortilla) and pintos & cheese at Taco Bell. I like to eat Carne Asada or Pork Adobada at cheap Mexican places if I’m not too tight.

the only thing I can eat at mcd's is a parfait my favorite or the chicken nuggets. I just get meals at sitdown places and then I eat off them for the next 3 days

I eat the grilled chicken wrap at McDonalds when Im needing a fast food fix. Can't do burgers or fries at all anymore. Chicken of any variety is 90% of my diet now, but I just keep experimenting with ways to cook it :(

My favorite is Wendys Chile or wendys baked potato. I have tried McD southern fried chicken without the bun and it was yummy. I like Chick-fil-la nuggets too. I cant eat french fries anymore either they get stuck . :biggrin:

i get a "bowl" from chipotle no rice extra Beans and depending on my mood maybe one of the meats (comes with beans, onions peppers cheese sour cream salsa corn salsa and guacamole) but its so good even without the meat and you can get three meals out of it

I also like Wendy's chili or baked potato.

Chick fil a has an awsome wrap if you can handle the grain tortilla. I have to eat it very slowly and can only eat 1/2 at one meal. The fruit and walnut salad at McDonalds is an awsome breakfast or lunch if you need something quick.

I am on the run quite a bit so I do have fast food more then I should - I like the fresco taco from taco bell - lower fat version then their original - although it has to be on a hard shell - soft tortillas don't work for me. I also usually get nuggets at other places - if they aren't too breaded - arby's are too much breading- usually I get a kids meal and just have 4 nuggets and iced tea - somedays I will have a fry or 2 but more often then not they don't go down very welll. Wendy's has the easiest to eat chicken - it is very processed.... if I am really tight I stick with Soups. Even 2 years later I still get a Big Mac craving - but I tried it one time - thought just a bite or 2 and boy was that a mistake -won't make it again! Anne

The only fast food places I have tried so far are pizza, chinese and Subway. The 2 times I had pizza I limited myself to 1 slice even though I was still hungry. The couple times I've had Chinese, I've gotten them to make the General Tso's chicken sauteed so it wasn't so bad. I don't have any problem foods right now in terms of getting stuck so the bread at Subway isn't a problem, although I ask them to scoop out some of the insides anyway.

the chicken bacon ranch salad from mcdonalds. I get the grilled chicken and use the lite vinagrette dressing they have. They're chicken is pretty moist and as many problems as I used to have with chicken I've never had a problem with it.

This is a great thread. My family likes to go out and eat and my nieces and nephews just live for McDonalds, so it's great to have ideas of what I might be able to eat once I get back on solids. I cannot eat fresh fish and only tolerate things like fish sticks or canned tuna in limited amounts. Right now I stopped at Runza to pick up a fruit smoothie when I was running about town with no food and it was the only thing on the menu I could have. I bought a Protein Shake but it was disgusting.

Anyone have issues with popcorn once they are on solids? How about hard taco or tostada shells?

I've eaten popcorn a few times and never had a problem with it. I've had pretty good success with tacos as long as they have a hard shell. For some reason the soft ones don't go down well. And I too do not care for protien shakes. Once you get on solids it's easier to find ways to get your protien without them.

I like El Pollo Loco, I usually get two chicken legs and eat half a side salad (makes up my 4 oz and pretty low in calories). I also sometimes get 2 of their Taco El Carbons (take off one of the tortillas and right at 4oz)

Carls Jr. also does any of their hamburgers carbless (wrapped in lettuce)...I sometimes get the famous star this way and very good for a treat.

I also can't eat fries anymore, just about every time I have tried them they have caused a problem.

      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.
