Can I eat a polish dog???

How many weeks out are you?

1month

How brave are you feeling? LOL You could check with your doctor, but if you're feeling brave you could do it in tiny bites and go slowly.

I had 2 bites of a hotdog Friday. I didn't eat the skin and I nibbled those 2 bites down and chewed like I was crazy but it stayed down! I am 18 days post op.

I also had 2 bites of a beef hot dog yesterday at 18 days out. It went down ok. Like someone said, I chewed it to smithereens lol. I also had a a chicken sausage one day that I took the casing off of.

I'm a year out and can eat a hot dog, but I have to be in right frame of mind. Greasy food still can bother me so sometimes I prefer something with a little less fat and more Protein, such as turkey kielbasa, turkey smokey links, or a chicken sausage I tried the other day. The lowfat hotdogs I looked at didn't have enough protein, but I just noticed Hebrew National has one with 6 grams of protein per frank. That works for me if they are not too big. I like to get close to 20 grams of protein per meal.

check with your doc i wasnt allowed to eat normal food until 7 wks , i eat hebrew nat 97 % fat free ones there 40 calories and they rock

I loved hot dogs pre-op, but they don't sit well in my sleeve now. I can do a bite or two, but they are generally too greasy. I don't care for the lowfat or turkey dogs, so I just pass on them unless I don't have a choice.

I'm scared if all the nitrates in those foods- not for me.
