Ground hamburger is a go-to food for me! Burger, no bun. I will just cook it and add mushrooms, spinach etc. I make sure I get the leanest beef possible! It's the way I get most of my protein!

I very rarely rat hamburger now. Just think the ground turkey is better for you so I have made that change and use it for everything! If I make meatloaf, I add a little hamburger just for color. Don't notice the difference anymore for tacos, burgers, spaghetti, etc. Just became the new staple in my household.

Just a note...ground turkey is only "better" for you when you are using product labeled "Ground Turkey Breast". The other ground turkey products use dark meat and even fat or skin. Read the label closely.

I'm in the food business and the old saying of buyer beware applies in ground meat-of all kinds!

I don't do chicken well. I can do hamburger in small portions and even that I have to chew well. But NOOO Bread! Can't do bread at all. Don't really miss it. It's been 3 years since I had any and don't miss it.

I mainly eat chicken, and choose to eat ground turkey, but I still like and eat ham (sidenote: ham has more Protein and less fat in an equal portion of chicken) and beef. If it's Protein rich, it's fair game on my menu, as long as it's not seafood, I just hate fish.

Just really stay away from carbs (complex carbs can be ok, just be wary of things that swell, fries and mashed potatoes, if prepared healthy are ok. Rice and Pasta are no go). Be careful of fat, but even that isn't a huge concern for me, sodium doesn't even phase me that much.

But being a 25 year-old guy, I do play kind of fast and loose with nutrition but my body can handle it and I still lose a lot

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
