Arby's Roastbeef- BIG mistake!
Well, I'm 6 weeks post-op. I was out-and-about a few days ago and didn't bring any lunch with me so I had to try to be creative with a fast-food solution. Then it hit me (I am getting sick of grilled chicken!) so why not try Arby's roastbeef. They don't put anything on the sandwich and all I throw away is the bread. Cool, right? WRONG!!! I didn't stop to consider how much fat was actually in the roast beef. I was just thinking of condiments, etc. I dumped for the first time ever. Boy was I miserable for a few hours.
Moral of the story: I will never forget to consider the protein itself again. And for any of you who haven't tried Arby's roastbeef yet, you may want to give it a few more months. I know I will!!!
Good luck,

Hahaha! Looks like I was in a no-win situation! I was going for my post-op appt last week (2 hours from home) and I didn't pack a lunch, either. So after leaving my doctor's the two closest things we could find were Arby's and McD's. So I said, "I might be able to handle the chicken nuggets at McD's." Well, I ate three of them and ended up barfing on the way home, several times! Too much fat, I guess. But seeing your story made me feel better! I guess I would have gotten sick either way!
Thanks for sharing!
