They are located on the same floor they take you after surgery, I forgot, I think 5th floor...the nurses didnt come by to talk to you about them....both instructors visited me while I was there to talk to me about things to do when I got home, what to ask him, and wanted my email to send me a reminder about the meetings....they are fairly good number turn out....every month there's a topic this month was emotional eating, but I missed it....it was raining cats and dogs on that day and refuse to drive in the rain unless I have to...

O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted July 23, 2012 Let's see about them turkey dogs. Well, really the fat & calories don't seem too bad(not remotely close to good either), but the sodium is through the roof. Remember this is for 1 dog with no Condiments. Start adding stuff & it only gets worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted July 23, 2012 I was reading this thread thinking oh yeah I'm going to get some hot dogs lol then I read O.T.R.'s post about the sodium. (( Now I have to give up my pickles and no hot dog for me lol *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Later on if you decide to have a pickle or a hot dog, or God forbid both on occasion it's not going to send you spiraling out of control. 1 lessofmeismore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmooney364 30 Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks O. T. R. we have to be reasonable here. I for one will have a little more sodium and other not so good for you things on occasion. Moderation is definitely the trick, says an only dreaming gal on full liquids for a few more days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesaucedo 207 Posted July 23, 2012 I second the tofu dogs! They taste great, usually have more Protein than normal hot dogs and have like 1/4 of the calories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LT1002 138 Posted July 25, 2012 I second the tofu dogs! They taste great' date=' usually have more Protein than normal hot dogs and have like 1/4 of the calories [/sup'] Morningstar Farms just began production again on their veggie dogs. Still on liquids, so no dog for me yet, but my spouse is a vegetarian and loves them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dooter 1,457 Posted July 26, 2012 Same sort of question from me - has anyone found a great high quality nice Protein dog? I would love a hot dog! I got some tonight from Trader Joes- All beef, uncured, no nitrites or nitrates, etc...and DEEelicious! 1 goofycathy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ikwa 13 Posted July 29, 2012 I second that trader joes hot dogs. I also know you can get good healthy HD at health foods stores or co-ops but they are expensive and go bad fast so best to keep them frozen until use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amom2twins 58 Posted July 30, 2012 I definitely wouldn't recommend eating a regular hot dog. I ate a Nathan's hot dog about a month ago (no bun) & it was too greasy and made me feel lousy. I used to eat 2 or 3 of them with fries no problem but that was the old me. Not going back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
