Summer cook outs and BBQ sauce

I am not yet banded. I am also considering the gastric sleeve. My question is this...now that the nice weather is breaking how should I handle the BBQ food? Will the burnt crust make me PB? I understand from the point of view of calories not to eat the BBQ sauce but what can I do if I attend a cook out and all the food is already cooked? For example I was a friends helping with yard work and as a thank you she treated us to a cook out where she made BBQ ribs! In trying to pratice I ate slow and chewed very well but it got me to thinking how would I handle the situation next summer after my surgery?
