Hot Dogs R No Longer



Recommended Posts

I'm not a big hot dog fan, but I've been fortunate that I've been able to eat them as long as I chew, chew, chew (no bun of course). Considering I spend 5 of 7 nights at the ball park, I've had one or two in the last few weeks. I just make sure I dip it in mustard to give it some liquid to slide down with.:nervous

Yep, a good fill makes all the difference in eating them or PBing them! I had one this weekend, almost burnt, with chili and cheese and onions (no bun), good stuff!! I DO ALWAYS THINK OF NATIONAL LAMPOONS where the racoon mom tells the babies......"dont eat those, they are made of lips, ears, and assholes" or something like that. Kinda dulls the appetite, lol!!!

O.K. sandwich lovers....I, too, miss holding a yummy sandwich in my hands...can't do the bread thing, BUT I found something even better: Flat Out Bread. OMG, I am in heaven! They are just like wrappers, but taste much better and are lower in calories. Plus they have Fiber and Protein, too. The original flat out bread is 140 calories per piece (it's big) and the light flat out bread is around 90 calories. They have several flavors too. I love them so much, I swear I could sell'em!!!! I found mine in the deli section of the grocery store. Enjoy!!!!

Nathan's makes skinless hotdogs. I see them at the store all of the time.

Margo ~ I want one now!!! You describe a great sandwich. I will look for those when I get to that stage.

I have to chime in on this thread!! I am the one that was spoken of that has an obstruction with a hot dog & was throwing up black tar. :) :) It was a miserable experience & it makes me sick to my stomach when I think of the whole ordeal. :tired

It's beem about 10 weeks since that happened & it has been hard for me to even LOOK at a hot dog. However, last week I was at a family members house on vacation & they served HOT DOGS!! I didn't want to seem rude by not eating it. I wasn't sure what to do! So, I peeled off the skin & took small bites. (No bun!) It was delicious & I had no problems. The skin is the real culprit on these little boogers. They're like rubber & don't break down very easy which is why they are so dangerous for bandsters to eat. Now that I know I can eat them without the skin I think I will add them back to my list of foods I can eat.

I eat tube meat (generic term for anything prepared like a hot dog) frequently, but I always remove the skin first - no matter how long it takes. My current favorite are some I bought at Sam's Club - chicken "franks" with asiago cheese & spinach inside. MMMMM.

As for sandwiches, don't really miss them that much, with one exception -- a good old PBJ on soft white bread. I love me a good PBJ.

I have alway been a big fan of sandwiches. I could have lived on them. My doc suggested pita bread. We had a party last weekend for my daughter's birthday (24th). I ate a turkey burger (made with ground turkey and onion Soup mix, grilled) in a pita and latter that night had a Nathan's skinless hot dog in a pita. Everything worked fine.

Try pita bread, works for me!

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
