If you don't over do it, a few bites of most any food should not be a problem. It's all a matter of how well it moves through your system. Of course, I have read that hot, spicy foods can feel that way coming out, but I never had that experience. Foods that can remain hard, like nuts, should always be avoided.
It you took a bite or two of the burger, and had a few french fries (just a few) and had plenty of water, fiber intake taht day, I can't see how it would hurt.
But I did find that the less I ate, the smaller my stools were, and the less pain I would have that day. But who wants to starve themselves (NOT recommended!)
Lecia has a good question -- what else are you doing to manage the pain? Your surgery is still a few weeks away...
