I made some extra lean burgers one night for dinner & cooked them on my Forman grill. Added a little chopped up onions & peppers & some seasonings. No bun for mine. They were pretty tasty & still really moist.

Was it recommended to anyone else not to eat pork chops? Just because they tend to be so dry?? I miss grilled chops.... :(

Wasn't recommended to me but I have tried one. It was cooked medium so still juicy but it's such a dense Protein, it didn't sit well.

Maybe try a burger made out of minced pork?

Sounds pretty good... :)

I was released at my 2 week check up to eat whatever but told to try one thing at a time incase it didnt go over well so I would know what it was. It was suggested I start with fish...but I dont eat fish. We eat alot of chicken around here....even more now. And thank god for eggs & cheese. ;)

If dryness is a problem, brine them & use a thicker cut.

I'll admit that I indulge every once in awhile, but I won't say screw it and eat like crap all day, I'll just enjoy that one thing and eat right the rest of the day. If we were to stay away from everything we loved pre-op completely, it would make us miserable. The sleeve is a tool, and we all chose it so that we can make healthier choices while eating much smaller portions of the things we love in moderation. I'll even admit that I had a few bites of a big mac today, that just means I'll work harder tomorrow. Every now and then it's not a bad thing to do, we're human and to enjoy yummy stuff every now and then won't throw us completely off track, you just have to be strong and not make it a habit. We all used to be fat at one point, and we all know what it feels like to be lectured and spoken to by skinnies who frown on us, so don't be like those people. We are all here for the same reason. Back to the topic, when I have burgers, I'll use lean ground meat with real white american cheese, onions, and no bun, it's delicious :)

I haven't read all the responses, but for me... no. The bread doesn't sit well with me. Bread, Pasta, rice... it doesn't feel good and, frankly, it's empty calories. I won't even order a burger from a restaurant because they are just crap. Hubby makes really lean, healthy ones and I'll take 2 oz of one of those, put some nice cheese on top and eat it with some tomatoes or whatever I want.

We don't do fast food anymore. I've been in a pinch a few times and either did Chipolte or chicken breast from a sandwich. Still junk, but...

      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!!
