chunkyloverlovesyou 197 Posted July 28, 2015 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?

LisaLouBop 181 Posted July 28, 2015 I can no longer eat egg beaters, nor can I use cooking spray. Just the thought of either make me not feel so good... Yuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laguerr13 993 Posted July 29, 2015 McDonalds is gross to me, but we do have great burger places here, unfortunately or rather fortunately on my cheat day I can only eat about a 1/4 of it, and I don't like reheating it, I'm going to these places I found online like Carl Jr.'s, they offer the option of wrapping your burger in lettuce instead of bread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted July 29, 2015 So, from my fat days, I am totally used to buying and eating 94/6 burgers. Now that I am a low carber, I buy 80/20 and it is SO MUCH BETTER. More fat, more juice, more flavor. Add a bit of REAL mayo, caramelized onion, mushrooms and gouda and yum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheezysmom 146 Posted July 29, 2015 Alfredo sauce is gross. Pre-op I could probably drink that stuff with a straw. But I went to the Cheesecake Factory, smelled the Alfredo sauce and was gagging internally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovinSoul 113 Posted July 29, 2015 Swore off of sandwiches and haven't really had a burger in a very long time. Just a bite of my husband's. Tasted ok but didn't seem worth the fat and carbs from the bun. I have learned that if I want ground meat that ground bison in leaner, tastier and not so bad for you. When my family wants burgers we grill ground bison and I eat a few ounces without the bun and extras. Yes, cheese and other toppings would be great, but I'm holding tough as long as I can! So far, so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't justify buying hamburgers when most of it gets thrown away, at least the animal should die making me happy Edited July 29, 2015 by chunkylover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyelaah 77 Posted July 29, 2015 So I'm confused... I thought cheese was ok and had a lot of Protein. Please explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted July 29, 2015 So I'm confused... I thought cheese was ok and had a lot of Protein. Please explain. I eat so much cheese it's ridiculous. Good, full fat, rich, creamy REAL cheese. Every day. In stuff, on stuff, as a meal itself. I love cheese. It's so fabulous that instead of eating "light" or "low fat" or skim milk cheese, I can eat the real thing and not feel one drop of guilt about it. Love cheese.

TealSister 296 Posted July 29, 2015 When I chew-chew-chew hamburger, I get so disgusted with the little balls of fat left in my mouth that I end up spitting it out. The joys of WLS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikrchk 1,313 Posted July 29, 2015 Not really. I like all the same things I've always liked, just in MUCH smaller quantities. I LOVE a burger now. For home, I get gormet sliders form the meat counter with slider Buns and put my favorite toppings on. ONE taps me out but it satisfies my want for a burger. If I'm out, I get a kiddie burger and eat it open faced or do 1/2 or 1/4 of an adult burger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
