OMG I ate a hamburger!!!!

[babsintx3 0]

Hi Everyone,

Went out to dinner last night at Fuddruckers. I dont think I have eaten a hamburger in about a year or so, so I was up for the challenge. To me, it is always too much work to eat it and I actually have a preference for turkey or chicken. Since I am in the house all the time since my PS, I was thrilled to get out and about. Since my partial unfill during surgery, I have little restriction. I am not too worried about it, since the majority of the time, I have been pretty good about sticking to the bandster rules and I do need the extra Protein and the slightly bigger portions to help me heal. My surgeon said that I could have a fill within the next two weeks after my next visit if I am still doing well.

I ordered a 1/3 pound hamburger which is the smallest on the menu with fries. I added mayo, mustard and catchup, lettuce, Tomato and a little honey mustard sauce. I cant beleive that I was able to eat the whole thing minus half the bun. I could even fit 5-6 french fries with nacho cheese sauce on them down the gullet. I was mortified!!! But it tasted so gooooood. OK, now that I have indulged in my bad girl once a week pure evil hamburger, I will go back to my regularly stationed program and behave..... No wonder I have a band.......

Yummy! It won't hurt right now to get those extra calories in, so good going! My hubby doesn't like Fuddruckers (?) so I don't get there often. But the burgers are very yummy!!!! I wonder how much of one I could eat? Nah. Too much weight left to lose!

This might sound gross to you, but everytime someone ate something I wanted, I would ask,"Do you mind french kissing me after your next bite?" I had 5 chicken fries and 6 french fries last night...too much fat. I won't try that again. I will hold out for something good!!! UMMMMMMMMMM hamburger.......

Good for you- we have to live it up sometimes. As long as you can control the urges & keep it down to once a week - I say WHOOHOO & Enjoy.

Maybe when I get closer to my goal weight I'll give myself a once a week meal too.

Hi,

I have always been like that guyWimpy in Popeye.

"Ill gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today" LOL

I love hamburgers, so this could turn into a big problem for me. Perhaps I should give myself more credit for self control....... I actually feel like eating some veggies, shrimp and tilapia today, so there is hope still.....

I too love cheeseburgers and when we go out I simply take all the bread off and eat what I can hold of the cheeseburger, lettuce and Tomato. It satisfies me and I get full quickly. I usually eat a couple of DH fries. He doesn't need all of them!!!

That sounds so delicious, I didn't eat hamburgers very often before my surgery, but I kick myself about once a week thinking, why in the heck didn't I have a great big, juicy, mouth watering, jumbo burger, dripping with mayo and tomatoes as my last feast before my band. Oh well, too late now, I couldn't even imagine taking a bite, it'd be pb/slime everywhere, LOL.

Have another for me before your next fill.

Okay, why were you mortified?

A 1/3 pound hamberger is 5.333 oz weight precooked. We all know that the burger is going to loose weight in cooking. A good bandster size is 3 - 4 oz and you had at most 5 oz of meet.

you had 1/2 a bun. Not the entire bun, not a load of bread, you had 1/2 a bun.

You had 5 or 6 fries. Not 15 or 16 fries. Not 25, not 55. You had 5 or 6 fries. I don't know if they are shoestring like McDonalds or a bigger cut, but you still JUST HAD FIVE OR SIX, not the entire basket.

No cheese! Hello? How can you eat a burger with no cheese?

This was your first burger in a year?!

Okay. Why are you mortified again? Because you are eating like a regular person? Zoe, get your boot please. Babs, you are healing right now, not trying to loose weight. Your body needs the extra Protein and the extra calories.

I don't want to hear "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" because you didn't eat the whole thing.
