I haven't used the name brand Gardenburgers, but I have used Morningstar veggie products and they've gone down just fine. They are a good source of Protein, plus it gets me a serving of vegetables in as well.

Best,

Lauren

I find them really easy to go down, alot easier than meat. As long as you don't over cook them, they can be very tender. You still have to chew, chew, chew, like always, but not has tough as w/ meat.< /p>

Best,

Lauren

I've had several of the Morning Star products, and I like some better than others. I don't think they are sliders at all as you have to chew them just like you would normal meat. However, I have an issue with the texture of some of their products (at least the Italian Sausage) as it seems kind of soft for me. I'm really weird when it comes to texture. If it feels "odd" to me, I'm not going to eat it. That's the reason I can't stand cottage cheese. Ugh, that stuff is nasty to me (due to texture - but if I blend it and mix it with ranch dressing mix - it's okay).

I like the Morning Star BBQ riblets, they are sort of like McDonalds McRibs. Be very careful not to over cook it because if you do, it's like eating rubber, it just ain't going down!

I haven't eaten beef or pork in about 23 years, and these are a staple of my diet (I am pre-band.)

I think they are very good, but from what I can recall, they don't taste like "meat." They are substantial and have the texture of a meat product, but when I eat them, I don't feel like I am having an actual burger.

I like both Morningstar Farms and Boca. Surprisingly, I am not fond of the Trader Joe's brand. I usually love their stuff.

In my freezer I have the portabello mushroom flavor MF and the Boca Spicy Chik'n Patties. I put them on a bun (again, I'm pre-band) with all the fixins and it works for me. Guess I just decided what I'm having for lunch.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
