Any suggestions on what to eat out post op?? Us normal busy moms don't always have a chance to eat from home. In our town we have sonic, McDonald's, church's chicken, Pizza Hut, and Whataburger. That's it. Any suggestions??

If I have to drive through somewhere, I order a grilled chicken sandwich with only chicken and bread. Toss the bun, eat the grilled chicken!

Whataburger has grilled chicken. Otherwise keep a protein bar in your purse and avoid fast food entirely (a huge adjustment I've had to make for myself). Good luck, I know it's not easy.

You can also stop at a gas station. There you can buy jerky or Muscle Milk protein shakes.

you can stop by Ihop and get a side of eggs....or carry a protein shake with you....but when I find myself at McDonalds, I get 4 piece chicken nuggets. I know its not the best choice but it works for me!

I'm with you I m out traveling alot too. Found myself at fast food places more than the average.

So, I plan to pack Shakes, crystal light. And some low cal snack foods.

Good luck!

We are all very busy Mom's or not. You have to plan what you are going to eat and pack a lunch. RTD shakes, cheese strings, lunchmeats, leftover meats, tuna. You name it, you can bring it. Fast food is the WORST food that you can be eating, stay away from it.

I eat the same thing everyday, just to keep the guesswork out of it.

Breakfast: Protein shake

Snack: Edamame

Lunch: Brookstone cottage cheese & avocado

Snack: Dannon Light & Fit 2x Protein yogurt

Dinner: protein and a veggie

Eating these foods just keeps it easy for me. I put a cooling pouch and pack a lunch kit, and eat in my car as I round on patients. By dinner, I've already eaten 60 grams of protein. I admit I've struggled a lot during the holidays, though. Good Luck!

Thanks everyone! I do pack a lunch often. But sometimes I just get so fed up with the same things. I have found that a 1$ side salad and a grilled chicken wrap at McDonald's works well. I just take out the chicken and add it to the salad and get the fat free Italian dressing. Add it all together then shake it in the container. I focus mainly on the chicken but I get some salad in. I'm proud of McDonald's for offering a small salad on the 1$ menu.
