i am 4 weeks after my vsg.can i eat a hotdog (without bread) or a chicken sausage

I think if you chew it well,you can. But the problem with the hotdogs or sausages is that they are really high in fat and at this stage it might not be good for your sleeve. But you can try and see for your own. I am 3 months post op and I don't eat any type of sausages or hotdogs yet my NUT only suggested me lean meats, soft chicken,turkey,sirloin,tuna,canned chicken,deli meats etc.

Hotdogs make me sick since surgery - too high in fat and generally too greasy. Chicken sausage might be OK but you may want to take it out of the casing and either puree it or chew it very, very well.

They have fat free hot dogs, I havent personally tried them but my girlfriend, who had the rouy-n-y 7 years ago swears by them. Cant hurt to try one and see!

Try turkey?

And Blend it

I am a month out as well and can eat sausages. I got a spicy turkey link, I was craving spice, and it went down just fine. I did chew it thoroughly and it took about an hour but it was ok.

I tried hot dog and was uncomfortable. I also can't tolerate hamburger patties. As for FF hot dogs, I used to eat them pre-op. unfortunately one got pushed to the back of the fridge and it went unnoticed. By the time I found it- it was a melted pink pile of goo. So gross- now I refuse to bring them into our house. Turkey is a safer bet.
