What makes a good burger in my opinion is all the good toppings. Without the lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, sauces, and bun; all you have left is just boring and quite frankly DISGUSTING meat. Post surgery, that's all I really have room for in a hamburger, and I just hate them now. in fact, I am now 90% vegetarian. Anyone else have a former favorite food they now find gross?

I used to LOVE hard boiled and deviled eggs. Now I can't stand the taste - it's like my throat actually closes and won't let me swallow them!

Red Robin will do any of their burgers or chicken sandwiches as a lettuce wrap. I then substitute broccoli or small salad for the fries.

I still eat cheese and mayo on my burgers or chicken sandwich. If I make a burger at home it is pretty small and I either don't use a roll or I eat it with part of one of the Arnold Sandwich Thins. I just eat it open faced and get the wheat. I eat about a 1/4 of one total. (1/2 of a 1/2). I toast them. They are well within my program's guidelines.

I use Bibb lettuce leaves for the burger. I still use cheese, tomato, onion and sometimes dill pickle. I either use half a patty or make a smaller patty for me if we are making them from just ground beef.

Bibb lettuce leaves also work well for BLTs.

I guess I am the opposite. I would have really never eaten a burger before surgery. I was pretty close to vegetarian. I just really did not eat alot of meat. Well that changed. I still eat alot of veggie meat products like morning star chicken patties and sausage patties. My new fave meal is a turkey burger with cheese wrapped in lettuce with mustard, tomato and a little pickle relish. So good!!
