Here's a recipe I use... for Turkey Burgers - they travel well for lunch and taste great.

1 lb ground turkey (really lean - good low fat protein)

1 egg

1 chopped onion

1/2 chopped red pepper

2-3 tbsp ketchup or BBQ Sauce (your choice)

garlic powder

paprika

Mix them all together (if you need mushier food, you can mix them in a food processor)... then add some breadcrumbs to make the mixture hold together.

you make them into burgers, and then bake them at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

You can eat them cold or hot and they taste great. If you use the food processor they are really easy to digest too.

Hope you like them - I like them loads better than tuna fish.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
