I know! I know!  We don't eat there often.  Not like we used to.

There are a few ff items that my surgeon says are ok.
Salads with grilled chicken at McD's -- NO DRESSING
2 hard or soft shell taco's at Taco Bell (no sour cream)
Turkey sub w/o cheese at Subway

plus a few others.....

If I have to eat there I usually get a grilled chicken sandwich and discard the bun, or if you ask, they will leave the bun off.

I'm glad my doc gave me a list of what to eat and what not to eat at the fast food places....it sure helps a lot....not that I frequent those places, but once in a great while.

I am still new to all of this but the only thing that I can see in my near future is Wendy's Chili.

I dont think We can change the industry, just adapt to it.  My choice at McDonalds is the grilled asian chicken salad but with ranch dressing.  it never disappoints. wendys is chili taco bell is pintos and cheese and a shell-less taco.

Wendy's - Chili Burger King - Chili (not quite as good as Wendy's), or Veggie burger no mayo if they carry it. McDonalds - Salad generally- but really not impressed Taco Bell - Bean & Cheese burrito or shelless taco Salad Arby's - they have some low carb wraps, but never tired them.  Not a big fan of Arby's Fazoli's - Salads are ok, cheese ravioli with meat sauce.  They are very accomidating about letting you eat off the kids meal.  I do do fast food because I have a 4 year old and a husband who loves it.    I try to make my WLS as normal lifestyle as possible.

The closer I get to surgery (hopefully) the more I am thinking about this too.  We ate at the mall food court last night.  The choices were Manchu Wok (Chinese), McD, Taco Bell, Sabarro, Cafe American, Yummy Japan.  I went for the broccoli chicken at manchu wok.  The chicken was tender, not breaded, broccoli nicely cooked. I was trying to imagine how long it would take to finish that meal post op (ie chewing broccoli to paste consistency).   I thought about bean burrito or pintos and cheese from taco bell.  ALso, I have tried the wendy's chicken sandwich (grilled) no bun, no dressing etc.  It's moist.  I love chicken so that will probably be something I opt for in the future too.  You should have seen the look I got from DH when I took the chicken off the bun, held it by the wrapper and ate it going down the road.  He kinda chuckled and said, "I'm still hungry, can I have the bun?".  LOL

Shawn,  I work at the Midland Mall.  Manchu is my worst nightmare since surgery.  I am not sure what it is, but I always feel ill afterwords.  I am not sure if it is the sauce or what.   Cafe American has some great soups.  I lived off the soup after I went back to work .  I would eat less than 1/2 of a cup.  Turkey wild rice is proably my favorite.  The Tomato Bisque and Cream of Portabella is good too.  Not a big fan of their chili or chicken gumbo.  Thier salads are the best in food court too.  I recomment the oriental with grilled chicken.  It has driend cranberries, almonds, oranges, along with your romaine and chicken.  Of course there is the rice noodles too.  I do Sushi from Yummy japan frequently.  The California roll is great for me.  I like the others but it is way to much and I have no one to share with.   Just my thoughts on a couple non chain restaurants.

I rarely do drive-ups anymore and have become an avid gourmet lunch-packer. But in a pinch: hamburger from McD's without bun top pintos 'n cheese from Taco Bell classic grilled chicken from McD's w/no mayo and I ask for a honey mustard dipping sauce to go with it. I take it off the bun and just eat the chicken dipped in the honey mustard-very good but a little pricey. Wendy's chili -Wanda
