I have not read anything on hamburger in these forums. It seems to be chicken and fish mostly. Is hamburger a problem food for most or is it just a coincidence that I have not noticed any postings about? I was just wondering before I end up trying it when I get my band. Thanks

I very rarely rat hamburger now. Just think the ground turkey is better for you so I have made that change and use it for everything! If I make meatloaf, I add a little hamburger just for color. Don't notice the difference anymore for tacos, burgers, spaghetti, etc. Just became the new staple in my household.

Just a note...ground turkey is only "better" for you when you are using product labeled "Ground Turkey Breast". The other ground turkey products use dark meat and even fat or skin. Read the label closely.

I'm in the food business and the old saying of buyer beware applies in ground meat-of all kinds!

I don't do chicken well. I can do hamburger in small portions and even that I have to chew well. But NOOO Bread! Can't do bread at all. Don't really miss it. It's been 3 years since I had any and don't miss it.

I mainly eat chicken, and choose to eat ground turkey, but I still like and eat ham (sidenote: ham has more Protein and less fat in an equal portion of chicken) and beef. If it's protein rich, it's fair game on my menu, as long as it's not seafood, I just hate fish.

Just really stay away from carbs (complex carbs can be ok, just be wary of things that swell, fries and mashed potatoes, if prepared healthy are ok. Rice and Pasta are no go). Be careful of fat, but even that isn't a huge concern for me, sodium doesn't even phase me that much.

But being a 25 year-old guy, I do play kind of fast and loose with nutrition but my body can handle it and I still lose a lot

i can eat burgers just fine,as long as i eat slowly and chew...as for other meat,i had a stuck episode with steak not long after my surgery,so i have avoided steak,london broil,etc,,since...chicken is ok if its very moist
