Hot Dogs & Sausages



Recommended Posts

Since we are SMACK DAB in the middle of summer- has anyone tried a hot dog or sausage that was (relatively) good nutritional content and that didnt gross you out?

I go to lots of BBQ's and always bring a package of wieners or sausages (running gag) and kinda need to find one that I can enjoy.

I have found the only hot dog I can eat w/o being queesy is a Hebrew National. I also do fine with the chicken sausages you get at Costco/Whole Foods (but they are gross).

Looking for a bit of variety. What ones can you recommend?

I hope you get some good answers to this one.

I personally hate hot dogs, but for the last month I would give my left leg to have one. My wife did preop diet with me... except for the time I drove past 7eleven and saw her inhaling a hot dog!! Now it's stuck in my brain.

That literally made me LOL!!! I could so see my husband doing that : )

I enjoy the Hebrew National and the Nathan's, but I haven't been sleeved yet so I really enjoy just about everything but protien drinks right now. :rolleyes:

I ate a Nathan's dog july 4th and it was ok. It agreed with me and I could only eat less that half the dog! That was only 98 calories. Yayyyyy! :) I find that I really am not crazy about bread! :)

I think maybe method of preparation could be a factor, I do okay with grilled dogs but not dogs fried on a flat top or boiled. A regular sized dog ran through the garden Chicago-style but without the bun, I can eat half, then the other half 30 minutes later. Nathan's are good, as are Hebrew National and Boarshead light.

Love me some Butterball Turkey Polska Kielbasas! A good bit of salt as expected, but not as high on calories as hot dogs or regular brats. Also they are really low in fat and have about 25 grams of Protein each. I usually eat them on a fork with a little mustard.

Have you tried any of the turkey sausage links? I know wal-mart carries them in different flavors and they have lower fat than beef or pork.

I'm only 9 days post-op and was sad that I couldn't have a Hebrew national grilled hot dog w/saur kraute & spicy mustard for 4th of July. lol looking forward to when I can :)

Cheap hot dogs are most lip, glands and ... I won't go there. I eat the Hebrew National fat free kind. I like them. If I go in for full fat I will eat a Nathans snap dog (with the casing).

I am a fan of Italian sausage. It's not very lean, but since our neighborhood Italian market grinds their own, i know what's in it. I like the hot kind.

For the bun I will slice one half of one longways and eat it open face with a tiny bit of chili, onions and or mustard. Mmmmmm, spicy mustard. I try to get healthier Buns or bread for them.

Good LORD! Never get a hot dog from 7-11. My husband was desperate. There were 3 hot dogs on the grill and he got one of them. He went in two days later and there were still two hot dogs on that grill machine thing.

They may have been the same dogs or not. We will never know.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
