Just wondering if ANYONE banded can eat a cheeseburger? I am two months banded and really miss those.

I mean a real one with a bun.

I can eat one, but I have to be very careful. I once grabbed a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger to go, ate it too quickly, and spent the next 20 minutes stuck in traffic sliming into the Wendy's bag. Wendy's bags, as I discovered, aren't good at containing slime. Blech!

I am 2 months banded with about 2 cc in my 10cc band and I had a 1/2 of cheeseburger from cracker barrel last week. I only ate it with the lower bun and with a fork and knife so I could cut very small pieces and chew, chew, chew, chew and then I chewed some more...LOL. I digested well and I didn't have any problems afterwards. Good luck

I tried to have one before my second fill and ended up yaking it up! And that was with only one small fill. I believe it is those pesky buns (that are loaded with bad carbs!)!

lmfao.......been there!lol

I used to make a thin turkey burger with the thin whole wheat bun, but now that I have more restriction I haven't even tried. I don't wanna even go there b/c if I do I may get something stuck or worse gain weight. I have been trying to eat more clean-changing my whole lifestyle of food/emotionally it can be hard. But If you eat unhealthy now when u do stop getting fills and is at maintance ur band may not be as restricted and you will eat the wrong foods and gain weight so then whats the point of going thru the surgery. But I do understand about the cravings. But maybe try to make a healthier cheeseburger than getting one at the fast food resturants. Good Luck
