mcdonalds bigmacs with ketchup yummy and fries

I would love to do fast food - ANY fast food. Unfortunately, it all kills me

Not only does it make me sick/nauseous, but it also gives me horrendous stomach pains for a couple of days afterwards!!

I have decided that as soon as I'm out of the hospital, I'm having a chinese takeaway, a pizza and a McDonalds all in one day!!!

Subway- MeetLESS meetball sub.

I could have one potato skin from O'Charleys (a sit down restaurant) per day. My poor DH would have to drive across town just so I could eat. I kid you not, that was the only thing I could eat on most days.

I've been able to eat McDonald fries on a good day but NOT on the bad days.

McDonald's milkshakes have also been tolerated from time to time.

I've also eaten plain Japanese steamed rice (YUM) and chinese food (probably the MSG being craved for repairing electrolytes).

I even had a craving for indian food once but that was really wierd/spicy and only once. It stayed down... go figure.

plain cheese pizza worked for awhile but I've got a complete aversion to it now.

just recently added.......a&w rootbeer freezes from a&w sonic does something similiar. its rootbeer and soft serve vanilla blended together like a shake its real cold and good

A huge coke from Sonic (they have the best ice ever!) and Chick-Fil-A waffle fries. I don't think I could ever move out of the southern US because I'd miss Chick-Fil-A too much.

Also, anyone throughout Oklahoma, and some of it's surrounding states, Braum's has amazing shakes and their fries are good too. I wish they'd build a few more dairies so they could be more widespread.

Tonya...did you have to mention chick-fil-a!?!? We got one right behind my office right before I got pregnant...ate there just about every day! haven't eaten there since Maybe could stomach their fruit bowl now...but can't wait for those waffle fries again!!

Root beer floats have become a new one for me.

Shannon...the steamed white rice from Chinese is working too!

Mashed taters and mac-n-cheese to go from places like KFC or Cracker Barrel have been goo too.

Haven't been able to stomach the "real" food from fast food yet...I think the grease scares me.

So far these I've been able to "keep down".

Wendy's - baked potato and chicken nuggets w/sweet & sour sauce

Burger King - chicken nuggets

KFC - biscuits and their mashed potatoes (no gravy!)

McDonalds - fruit & yogurt parfait (no granola), lemonade, breakfast biscuits (plain) YES, you can just buy their biscuits PLAIN

Panera Bread - chicken noodle soup in the bread bowl (couldn't finish it though; too much food!)

Now this morning I had an urge and I ate AND "kept down" a sausage and egg biscuit (no cheese). I was so proud of myself! Woohoo!

OH and the steamed white rice from the local Chinese place works for me too (they don't use MSG). If my hubby gets the chicken and broccoli, I'll usually have a bite size piece of chicken - no broccoli . . . but the rice is all mine.

Tonya - we have chick fil a here in Pennsylvania!
I know for a fact there's one in Warminster not far from Philly and another at a local mall.

For me these days it's (so long as I have my zantac) FRENCH FRIES! Needless to say, with tons of salt. If the DP even puts his hand near my fries he risks pulling back a bloody stump.

I can't keep pizza down, so I saved the Pizza Hut number in my cell phone so that hubby can call for MY pizza when I deliver. . . . I'm not due until 9/27/07 but when I do, I'm having PIZZA!

Here's some fast food that's worked out for me:

McDonalds - Fries (!) with lots of ketchup, Filet o'Fish sandwich - they have the world's greatest tartar sauce. (The FoF did come up one time, but for me, that's a pretty good record.)

Wendy's - Baked potato with butter and extra salt. Chicken nuggests (sometimes - although I can't stand regular fried chicken).

Taco Bell - bean burrito - best without the red sauce. The hot sauce, on the other hand, has been ok.

Burger King - Veggie burger. Fries - but the ones at McD's are better; BK's have a strange texture.

Chick-fil-a. Oh my. I miss it soooo much.
We moved from VA to Maine and there are not any Chick-fil-a's here. I could REALLY use a waffle fry!
