What healthy fast food might you suggest??

I was released on all foods at 4 weeks - though this doesn't seem to be the "norm" if you read here on the boards, but I've been completely fine. I had my first salad between 7-8 weeks out with no problems. I chewed really good and it went down just fine. But I did get full fast! Only about 4 bites and done!

I also have had the grilled snack wraps from McDonalds with no issues. I can only eat about half at a time though because they are filling.

I don't eat any breads and rarely wraps. 1) I find them difficult to get in and 2) they take up the room I need to get my Protein in.

Salads I'll eat on occasion (I'm 5 months out and only started abou 2 weeks ago because I save my room for the protein. If I eat 3 oz. of chicken, I don't have room for more than a forkful of veggies.

I wouldn't and I'm 7 months out. Still can't tolerate many raw veggies or wraps... I do well with Wendy's chili. A lot of protein little carbs and cheap!

I started eating lettuce at about 5 weeks and other veggies at 6 weeks and have done fine, but I usually eat them as a snack bc I don't have much room for them once I eat my protein. I would be more worried about the wrap than the stuff inside--at first, you should only try thinly sliced very well-toasted bread, but I don't even do this bc it's empty carbs and calories. I have hear of people vomiting from eating wraps for the first few months.

I'll be 6wks out tomorrow. :-) I tried a half cup of iceberg lettuce with french dressing on it approx 1 wk ago & it went down just fine...no issues at all. My fav is Wendy's small ceasar salad with pomgranate (spelling??) dressing. I can eat the entire thing! The dressing is sweet & satisfying to me. I also enjoy the grilled leg from KFC with a side of small mashed potatoes & I KEEP THE SKIN ON! Haha...my nut said to take skin off all chicken & I though "No, I'm gonna try this & it's not gonna make me gain. I know it." & I was right. I had no issue at all with the skin. Let's see, I like Taco bell crunchy tacos also. They go down great. Inbox me if I can be of any help

A lot of people like Wendy's chili (I don't eat it bc I'm a vegetarian) or a side of refried beans from Taco Bell. You can also get salad with a side of black beans (Taco Bell, Chipotle). Better if you can plan ahead to avoid fast food but those are some good options.

I love Wendy's chili too!

because it isn't the most healthy of choices but they do offer the fresca menu there which saves on calories, etc. I have also have had chicken tenders from Popeye's - I can only eat one chicken tender and that's enough to fill me up. I just save the rest for later.

Though eating fast food is not for everyone, I PERSONALLY believe in all things in moderation and have still had steady loss/success! :)
