I'm allowed soft food including chicken on day 20. Everyone has a different plan. If you are going to Chick-Fill-A you should have their grilled nuggets, they're delicious.

They dont sound good for you right now.....lol. but hey, if you can take them who are we to stop and tell you no

The most important thing to keep in mind is that your stomach is healing on the inside. Chicken causes more churning to digest and you don't want to risk a leak. The first 6 weeks are critical to heal. Doesn't matter if it was easy.

IN general, fast food isn't particularly healthy, but its certainly easy to make bariatric friendly choices.

1) stay away from anything deep fried. Stick with grilled options. Nothing with breading, no fries, onion rings or tots.

2) stay away from carbs. Order the sandwich but toss the bun. Some places even let you order it "low carb" and they wrap the burger in lettuce. No soda, lemonade, milk shakes, Cookies, pies, or high calorie coffee drinks.

3) salads can be a good choice but be smart about the dressings, croutons, etc.

4) Taco Bell refried Beans, Wendy's chili and soft meats like Arby's roast beef or ham are probably better options for you so soon Postop. Better safe than sorry when it comes your newly stitched and still healing sleeve. I actually wasn't cleared for solid food till 6 weeks postop.

I actually eat fast food 3-4 times/month, but my choices are pretty much pure Protein (and fat - which has never affects my maintenance)

Grilled chicken would qualify as soft food on my plan and many others.
