Chick-fil-A



Recommended Posts

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!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
