Folks, do you love burgers but can no longer eat them cause they get stuck?



Recommended Posts

Well let me suggest something you may want to try. When I grill burgers I take about 2lbs of lean meat and mix in about 2 tablespoons of mustard and 2 tablespoons of BBQ Sauce. Of course you can adjust to your taste. However be very careful as to much additive can give you one big soggy bowl of gunk that will not form into burgers no matter how hard you try. Anyhoo, Slap those babies on the grill and in no time you will have the most moist, easy-slidin' burgers you've ever had. And they taste awesome. Somebody try them and let me know what you think.

I'll have to try that!

When I have burgers, I put them in lettuce leaves along with all the toppings I like. I usually add mayo, tomatoes, pickles, and they go down pretty good too. I don't miss my burgers the old way anymore!

one thing ive learned is to do this.. i was a HUGE burger fan presurgery and until i did this i couldnt bare to eat one!

take very very lean meat (like less than 7%) and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or such (i use peanut oil) to each pound mix it in.. it adds the extra fat to make your burger juicy but it isnt hard to chew up and makes the meat REALLY moist. I usually add BBQ Sauce on top.

also.. grill your Buns i usually use pam but butter works also

also.. the thinner the burger the better off I've noticed anyway.

I couldn't imagine trying to eat a bun, but the throught of a grilled bun with a big juicy hamburger....oh well I can dream. I may try Betty's idea along with the olive oil in the hamburger mixture.

Thanks for the good ideas. I have no difficulty with burgers let, but I do get my first fill on Thursday so all of that may change.

Sounds good! I make my venison burgers with 1 to 2 pounds of burger, 3 eggs, and either some breadcrumbs (Italian flavored ones are the bomb!) or some oatmeal, as well as some onions.

They stick together great and make a very tasty burger!

P.S. Sometimes I add in spices like garlic/onion salt, parsley, basil too. It adds to the flavor nicely!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
