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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
