Has anyone tried to eat low-fat Italian sausage (or regular, turkey sausage, etc..)?? If so, do you have to take the casing off before eating? I'm on solid foods now and I was thinking of making Italian sausage in the crockpot with peppers, onions and red sauce, but I don't want to if I can't eat it.

That sounds delish! Make some for me, please! :blush: (I don't think you'd have trouble with the casing if you are going to crockpot it, but that's no guarantee - just take it carefully).

YUMMM!!! I just had sausage and peppers for dinner last night and all I can say is YUMMMMY!! No problems, the crockpot makes it so moist. ENJOY!

I find that as long as I take small bites and chew VERY well, I have no problems with sausage - either a sweet italian sausage, or kielbasa or smoked sausage...I just have to take smaller bites.

I don't eat pork, but I do eat Kosher or halal beef or turkey sausages and never have a problem with casings if they are chewed well.

Having them cook slowly in the crock pot will probably work great. Just go slow and you should be good to go :0).

I eat Kielbasa fairly often and don't have a problem with the casing. I do however have to take TINY bites.

I love sausage from Sam's Club -- particularly chicken Sausage with asiago cheese and spinach. Only 110 calories and a whopping 15g of Protein for each link! I do take it out of the casing, break it up, and brown it in a pan.

      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.
