What about mini cheeseburgers? Can we eat the bread? Or is bread difficult to chew. I a m still new but haven't had a cheese burger but would love to do a mini burger

You will get a lot of opinions on this, but I am in favor of leaving the bread behind, especially if it's a white flour bun. If you are not very far out, you need that room for Protein, Bread also makes some people feel really bad. White bread balls up and swells in my sleeve. It's nutritionally devoid so I would skip it. Later on down the line, try a toasted (bread is easier to digest when toasted) whole grain variety with a lot of protein in it, but use on one slice. It will be enough. Some just use lettuce wraps. It's up to you what you think is best for your weight loss.

I love burgers. They are a go to for me. I eat just the patty that I make with supper lean ground beef, I add Worcestershire sauce, and spices, and diced mushrooms sometimes a little Dijon mustard. grill to my liking and I top with smashed avocado, salt and pepper.

bread really hurts my tummy! I wrap a hamburger patty in lettuce. Lettuce doesn't bother me.

I too was dying for a burger so I tried Weight Watchers Smart Ones - 2 cheeseburgers in a pckg. Removed bottom bun off one. Ate with a knife and fork to make sure my bites were tiny and almost finished it. I know processed food is bad' date=' but as a once in a while treat for lunch, it did the trick, got my burger craving satisfied too.[/quote']

I totally agree!! These little burgers are great once in a while. A box of 2 makes 2 lunches for me at work.

My husband fixes me a very small one, with 93% lean, and puts a slice of 2% monterey jack/colby cheese on it, about 1 oz. Then I put olive oil mayo and a little ketchup and I'm great with that

Hi everyone! I am 9 months post op and I have only lost 10lbs since October. I have been doing everything (not perfect) but when I slip I catch myself. I am exercising, eating right, and avoiding temptation as much as possible. I have heard that if you do a back to basics week it can help start up your weightloss again. Is this true? Or is anyone else where I am at. I have lost a total of 87lbs since surgery, which I am ecstatic over, but I have another 50 to go feel as if there is something wrong. I'm not sure why I'm not losing anymore! Help!!!!

Talk to you doctor or nut about this as they know your history. I'm only 10 weeks out and still adding foods and experimenting with what I can keep down.

Wow...you folks manage to turn ANY question or conversation into an immature cliquey high school drama' date=' don't you?

Why on earth was there any need to attack someone for volunteering their own experience? It does NOT matter if Dianne38 chooses to eat at McD's once in a while, or enjoy a doughnut. It also doesn't mean she's unhealthy or that she doesn't care about her body. Could she make better choices? Sure. So could almost every American out there, obese or not.

These things are an ingrained part of our culture and if she can use moderation and enjoy them it's her choice. I'd criticize her if she were hopping on here to complain that she's stalled and then shared that she's eating doughnuts and hamburgers. But really? The VERY first response to her was a sarcastic, overly critical snotty one.

No WONDER people don't want to post here. No WONDER people say VST has gotten too negative. And you accuse the lady that was just out-of-the-blue sniped at for sharing her experience of reacting harshly, instead of acknowledging that people here are acting like a bunch of children.

Pathetic. And things I've read about certain people here never having a single positive thing to say seem to ring true - outside of their own little posse of like-minded sharp-tongued people, that is.

Dianne38 has been just as ugly if not worse on this thread...calling people idiots ect. Anger issues perhaps or guilt?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
