I’m a month out from gastric sleeve surgery and I was just wondering when I could start eating smoked sausage. I’ve eat a turkey burger and hamburger cut up in small pieces. Thanks for your help.

I would ask your doctor, I think they would want it low-fat option if you did. Being only a month out. :)

Most, if not all, programs have strict guidelines for their patients to follow. I would suggest consulting with your surgeon's office. For me, at one-month post-op, I was still on the pureed phase. For each phase, I wasn't allowed to advance until I got the all-clear to do so.

One thing I'd definitely say after a month or so of "eating what I wanted" I wasnt getting the results I was looking for.. it took going into the drs office a week and a half ago to wake me up to what I was doing.. its pretty easy.. at least it was for me.. to fall back into your old ways.. even if the portions are smaller that type of food tends to make me choose unwisely as a whole. I'd consider what you wanted from the surgery and bring it up when you have cravings for things that are pretty obviously taking you a step backwards.. to the exact question.. kielbasa is very fatty and filled with calories I'd consider sausage as a whole worth giving up on completely.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
