May 3rd is my day!!! I am excited but I am super nervous! Your progressing right along. Very proud for you! We have a super new reataurant here in TN called Chicken Salad Chick. Very nice alternative to fast food.

Fast food is possible. Chicka Fila works great, the grilled nuggets. Grilled chicken sandwiches with a salad, no bread, chili from Wendy's. But I've done Chicka Fila a lot when I'm in the Jackson area but unfortunately, no local Chicka Fila. I like Wendy's grilled chicken. Learning what your tummy will accept is a learning experience for sure. Great on the weight loss.

Bypass to a Leaner Lynn I hear ya, I’m sure I would be fine with grilled chicken at some of those places but I want to see how long I can avoid them! Less sodium etc. I am happy with the loss! Woohoo!

@@Sam-ub4qt Oh, believe me, I was over a year out before I tried anything but Chicka Fila and I was probably 8 months or so out when I tried Chicka Fila. I just like other WLS patients to know options and not think that their lives are forever restricted. It's too easy to "be special" when really, most of the things we "can't eat" are really things no one should really eat except in very limited quantities and fast food is one of those things.

Did you do a transition from liquid to purées foods to solid? I’m going through the prep for surgery and my nutritionist has a long transitional period with food. I’m curious what your regimen was.

[@Sam-ub4qt]

Jamie Blackwell she had me go from liquids to ‘soft’ foods. So like chicken but in like a crockpot, tuna etc. I didn’t do purées at all. Good luck!!

[@jamieblackwell9350]

How interesting! I think the plan for mine is a couple months before solid food. That’s why I was surprised by your ability to eat certain things! Good luck to you as well. Thank you for the videos!

Jamie Blackwell I think it’s kinda crazy how programs are soo different!
