I keep reading that eating hamburger (along with steak and pork) is not a good idea with the lap band. Just wondering if anyone has eaten it and been okay. Thanks!

I still eat all meats you are supose to eat your protein first. Some types of meat do bother some people but i just take my time a chew.

I do eat hamburger and steak w/o a problem as long as it is not too well done. I have been having a problem with chicken lately. But what i have found is that what you are able to eat varies from person to person.

I, too, can eat hamburger. The more moist the better and the higher quality the less the gristle. I have more trouble with chicken than hamburger. But each person is unique and can change from fill to fill.

Thankfully I am still able to eat chicken, steak and hamburger with no problems. Chewing and eating slow is definitely the key!!!

I eat all meats, fish and poultry. I eat mostly all meat and a few vegetables. I have a lot of restriction now, so I need to chew chew chew. I also have to get up and move around some while eating, but I still eat it. My banded daughter eats everything but chicken. For some reason she cannot do chicken in any form. Hugs!!!

Lord, I hope chicken and hamburger sit well with me b/c I'm a picky eater, and that is about all I eat. I don't like steak just hamburger meat so hopefully my stomach will be able to handle it.

YES -- but with no bun.

Lot's of steak, burgers, chicken............all is good for me.

Yes, I eat hamburger, have not tried steak yet.

Just because nobody else has mentioned it,I thought I would mention that as a vegetarian I don't eat any meat and also I can't manage quorn (for the uninitiated it has a very similar texture to chicken). I can manage soya mince, though. I also found, post banding, that I can't manage chunks of cheese, even well chewed, nor boiled or scrambled eggs so I just gave up and became vegan - which is a lot easier.

I do, but lately I have being doing the veggie burger made by morning star, so if I do get to a point that I cannot eat beef hamburgers, it is a nice,moist substitute
