I want a hamburger so bad! I can't eat bread anymore and that's fine. I can still have a patty with veggies but I dont know how to make one that is good and moist. The last time I made them I used 80/20 ground beef and pan fried them. They were so dry I couldn't eat them.

Any tips for me?

I gave up red meat for Lent and I was like you I was craving a hamburger so bad. I got hooked on turkey meat. I use the 95/5 white ground turkey meat and mix it with the powder onion dip to give it flavor. I did this both on the stove and on the grill and surprisingly they where great and not dry.

I met my niece for lunch the other day and I could not get my eye off this burger they had on the menu. 4 cheese bacon burger. I had it with no bun, all the fixin's only got 3 - 4 bites down but it was delish!

Anyway, a chef friend of mine told me to soak bread crumbs in milk and add them to the ground beef and it would keep your burger moist and juicy. I don't know the quantities but you should just be able to eye ball it.

always turn out juicier when broiled or grilled too...

I enjoy mixing salsa with the ground beef... salsa burgers rock!

I agree, salsa in the beef is delicious. Sometimes I just dump whatever combo sounds good into the beef and mix it--salsa, Worcestershire or soy sauce, grated cheese, bread crumbs, spices, etc. The burgers are always very moist when I add ingredients to the beef.

I use 93/7 ground turkey,egg, pancko breadcrumbs,light barbecue sauce,shot of worcestire sauce, pepper relish(Harry & David), lemon/pepper seasoning and then you can either make patties, meatballs or mini meatloafs(fill normal size muffin pans...bake....and then freeze so you have individual size meals to pull out in a pinch). The meatballs and meatloaf I use Prego's roasted pepper/garlic healthy jar sauce on top and it's very tasty.

When I make hamburgers I cook them normally, just however you like, then I put them over in a crock pot with beef broth and let them set on low heat (or high depending on how soon you are eating) until they have soaked up some of the juices and are moist. My family does this at reunions and get togethers and everyone really likes them.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
