I guess it doesn't take much to get me excited, but I went to Chick-fil-A earlier. There was an employee walking down the drive-thru line giving out samples of their new grilled chicken sandwiches. They are VERY good and they're on a wheat bun. I don't do well with bread, so I tossed the bun. However, they now have grilled chicken nuggets on their menu! I ordered the 12 count combo with a side salad and Diet Lemonade. DELICIOUS lunch! I couldn't eat it all, so the other half will be my dinner. Try them, they're yummy!

I cannot eat chicken yet but when i am able to .... I am wondering are the grilled chicken strips or nuggets tender..... I'm afraid to eat white meat chicken now as many people have problems chewing and swallowing it. I am only two and a half weeks post of and won't be able to eat chicken for some time. I think at five weeks out i will be allowed to have deli shaved chicken only

Iambeautiful...being able to eat chicken varies from person to person. I've been banded for almost a year and haven't had many problems with chicken. The few times I had issues, it was due to the chicken being dry or overcooked. My surgeon suggested using dipping sauce, such as a low fat salad dressing or Walden Farms BBQ sauce. I haven't had the grilled strips from Chick-fil-A (I still have a tendency to take large bites). The nuggets are tender and because they're small, it reminds to take small bites. Hopefully, you won't have any problems with chicken. Just remember to chew, chew, chew!

They've bad the grilled nuggets for kids for a little while. I think it was a hidden menu item for the longest time. I went to Chickfila too today and was happily surprised about the update menu. I ordered kids meal of the 4count nuggets, fruit cup and apple juice (with BBQ sauce). The nuggets are great as long as you take a bite of it or two. Don't try to pop the entire thing at once. (At least for me)

Didn't last me that long unfortunately just a couple of hours. I get my next fill tomorrow.

The chicken tortilla Soup is the best for bandsters.. it's high Protein, low calories and filling.. I have the small size and a diet lemonade and I feel sinful. anytime I am near Chic Filet at lunch time I go in for some soup... I have eaten the child's chicken nuggets (grilled) but they are really dry. otherwise Wendy's has the best chili around...

The chick fila tortilla soup is seasonal and will be gone soon.

The grilled chicken nuggets have been on the menu for a long time... And you can get them in 8 and 12pcs. And in the kids meal.

kimk1999, today was my first day ever seeing them! Of course, we get everything late in my neck of the woods! I can't eat a whole one at once either.

Sharpie, I've never had the tortilla soup there. I agree about Wendy's chili. I LOVE IT, but hadn't tried it prior to being banded.

Luka Beth, I better try that soup soon then!

yes the chicken tortilla soup is seasonal so I try to get it often.. going today and buying a couple of large containers and I will freeze it... I need to find a good recipe so I can make it..

Awesome tip Sharpie, I didn't think about the soup, I'll have to try it out next time. Thanks!
