Hi guys,

So, I'm eating my 1st veggie burger. It's OK, nothing to write home about. I'm finding it kinda dry & slow to go down. Kinda feeling it kinda/sorta sticking there on top of my tummy. ot sure if it's because of my 3rd fill, or because it really IS dry. The only thing I had at work to add on top of it to make it softer / mushier was a deviled egg.

Any suggestions on what else to put on top of this thing?

thanks

Fran

It might sound a little gross but I really like avacados on mine.

I think avocado would be great! Also sour cream or plain yogurt.

Trash as you you bury it in the kitchen sack! J/k - sorry, I don't care for veggie burgers! :) Guessing salsa or guac would be ok though to help disguise it.

Btw, there are several different brands of veggie burgers and not all are created equal. My kids didn't care for many of the frozen ones but they really like the refrigerated ones I got at costco and most recently some black bean burgers. ;-)

i like the boca chicken patties and i agree with trying different ones. Trader joe's usually has a selection. The morningstar crumbles are great in chilli or Soup.< /p>

Black bean burgers, huh? Do they taste good? What do you add to those? I've got a costco close by so I may give those a whirl...

Thanks for the ideas everyone! Next time, I'll be more prepared. I wound up only eating 1/2 of it.

Any of the veggie burgers you can top like you would a regular burger. Good luck, hope you find some you like. At costco the black bean burgers are frozen but the refrigerated veggie burgers are the ones my kids seem to enjoy most and my sister started them on them. :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
