illude 0 Posted February 19, 2006 I've had my band for a little over 2 years and no matter how many times I've tried to eat hamburger meat It nevers agrees with me.....I've tried various different times, chewing, cutting, all of the above and it's never a good thing....which my doctor told me not to eat red-meats because they don't digest good....however I've been able to eat steak like jack said but NO hamburger meat.....sorry I have no solution it's out of the question for me...and many other people I know that has had the band....

paula 4 Posted February 19, 2006 Im like Jack - no problems with hamburger, but extreme caution is used when eating steak. Have you tried eating your hamburger meat with lots of ketchup? This may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted February 19, 2006 Might it depend how you eat it. We only really eat in in bolognaise sauce or chilli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarabride2006 0 Posted February 19, 2006 I haven't had a problem w/it but I don't eat it often. I usually cook it down and use the fat free gravy in it to "soup" it up. My FI will eat that with bread, and I'll spread it over squash or brussel sprouts.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ1107 0 Posted February 19, 2006 I don't have any problem with it, but I do always cook it with something. I fry the meat, drain off all grease then cook it with rotel or ranch style Beans or spaghetti sauce. It Soups it up and there hasn't been any problems.

babsintx3 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Leighann, The leaner the beef, the harder it is to eat because it is dryer unless lubed to death. I can eat chili, but usually substitute beef for lean turkey which for some reason is easier for me to eat. I really dont miss hamburgers, although when I was unfilled last year, I hit Fuddruckers and had a 5 oz burger loaded and it was so gooood... I used to be Wimpie before banding.... I 'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today......LOL Babs in TX 334/180ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted February 19, 2006 I don't have any problems eating hamburger. I fix it up just like I would with the bun, only use lettuce leaves for the bun. It takes my cravings away for the regular burger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAYGERL05 0 Posted February 20, 2006 You might want to try a soy burger. I bought a box and seasoned the meat and they were good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
