I eat it with no problem. Depending on what I am making, I will use either 4% or 10% hamburger..

I can eat a burger, but I've only got 3.75 cc in my band. I think it varies based on your band adjustments

There isn't much I can't eat. I do have a problem with snow peas, even if I destring them. And I avoid most steaks except for filet mignon at home.

Ground beef is pretty much the only type of beef I can eat. It has to be in chili, Soup, taco salad and other ways like that. I can not just eat a hamburger patty.

I can eat it fine...but easier ground up vs a hamburger. But, I think the reason there is it is easier to take a small bite with a fork, versus a bite!

I can eat Ground beef/Ground Turkey with no problems. I cannot eat chicken though. Every time I eat chicken, by the 2nd bite, I am miserable and end up throwing it up. I stick to ground turkey since its much lower in fat and calories and in general healthier for you (Plus, at the stores around me, its actually quite a bit cheaper than the lean ground beef)

I have been scared to try chicken or beef.. I have been sticking to fish. I love baked and grilled salmon.

I do eat ground beef, but I also get it at a local meat cutting shop, so it's almost gristle free, very high end beef....got it for 2.20 per pound. I was able to pan cook and grill it. Just chew really well and small bites, I even cook it a little pinker.

well, my experience was .... my first solid Protein was fish... not successful at all. then i tried beef burgers, thin and no herbs or onions etc. it was beautiful. no problems at all with it.... so it was successful with me. the fish is more of a problem. perhaps im not cooking it right?? i did poach it but it was very dry i thought.. and yuk. anyway the burgers were great, but as i said, they were just plain beef, nothing added at all.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
