Does anyone still eat hamburger?



Recommended Posts

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 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.

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
