Daily Post--2/7/08

Wow, 16 years ago today, about 12:30 pm, I was giving birth to my baby! Can't believe she'll be getting her driver's license soon! Seems like just yesterday! LOL Enough of that! LOL Today's question--and tell the truth--Do you eat fast food? If you do eat fast food, which fast food places do you feel have healthy choices for us WLS folks? There are things out there other than Wendy's chili! Lea

Yes, I do... and I do try and eat what is mostly protein.. I work 14 hour shifts and drive 90 min each way, so for me its a way of life... I try to eat and pack lunchs at home, and some healthy food but when I am running late I do this.. I will order a childrens meal and get fruit not fries.. and if its a hamburger, I do not eat the bun.. Wendys : Chili Macdonalds : Salad or chiken without bun , In and Out : Protien/ animal burger. (no bun and fried onions) Denny's : oatmeal or 2 poached eggs, no bread hot dog haven : all beef hot dog no bun ARbys : Roast beef no bun (childrens meal) and comes with grapes, friut cup Taco Bell : Pinto n cheese, Carls Jr: steak taco salad but do not eat the shell. El pollo Loco : Chicken and beans If I take the kids to chuck e cheese.. I will order a pizza but only eat the toppings off.. and not the crust.. I can usually find something on every menu that is not full of fat, bread, etc.. just modify it a bit...

happy birthday to your daughter! I eat fast food very occasionally. I hardly ever eat buns or bread, but sometimes eat tortillas. My favorites: Taco Bell - Burrito Supreme (without tortilla) Del Taco - Shredded Beef burrito (without tortilla) Wendy's - chili w/cheese and onion Bakers - chili bean cup Carl's Jr/Green Burrito - Chicken bowl/no rice Jack in the Box - Grilled chicken strips (these are NEW - YUM!!!)

No I don't eat fast food, as much as I like to I just don't find anything that perks my taste buds.

Oh yeah I do. I still order the same things I did pre-op, but usually I eat half, if any, of the bun now.

I had my 1st experience with that last night..I got a grilled chicken caesar salad from KFC. I ate my chicken first...this was my 1st experience with chicken post op and it went surprisingly well...then I ate the salad..also first experience post op...also no issues going in...I will say I have had some issues having it come out this a.m. - sorry if too much information - but unfortunately, with our hectic lifestyle I need to be able to occassionally find a healthy choice on the road...I ommitted the croutons and other crap they give and just stuck to the lettuce, chicken and dressing.

I don't eat much fast food any more, but I have had the chili from Wendys, pintos and cheese or a hard shell taco (breaking off most of the shell) from Taco bell, and once I even did a cheeseburger from McDonald's, but I took off the bun. Christy

I do on occasion eat fast food. Maybe 1 time a week or less. I really try not to. But when I do, of course, Wendy's chili is a fav - in fact I bought some last night and divided it in 1/2 for dinner and lunch today. Otherwise, Arby's Jr RB, no bread Taco bell, either a taco, no shell or pintos and cheese That's pretty much it...

Yes, once in a while, I do fast food places. McDonald's: grilled chicken salad (no cruetons) Culver's: grilled chicken salad or sandwich (I only eat have of either one) Wendy's: chili (of course,

The only fast food I have eaten is Wendy's chili. I don't even do that anymore because it is so high in carbs. Carla
