I’m a month out from gastric sleeve surgery and I was just wondering when I could start eating smoked sausage. I’ve eat a turkey burger and hamburger cut up in small pieces. Thanks for your help.

I would ask your doctor, I think they would want it low-fat option if you did. Being only a month out. :)

Most, if not all, programs have strict guidelines for their patients to follow. I would suggest consulting with your surgeon's office. For me, at one-month post-op, I was still on the pureed phase. For each phase, I wasn't allowed to advance until I got the all-clear to do so.

One thing I'd definitely say after a month or so of "eating what I wanted" I wasnt getting the results I was looking for.. it took going into the drs office a week and a half ago to wake me up to what I was doing.. its pretty easy.. at least it was for me.. to fall back into your old ways.. even if the portions are smaller that type of food tends to make me choose unwisely as a whole. I'd consider what you wanted from the surgery and bring it up when you have cravings for things that are pretty obviously taking you a step backwards.. to the exact question.. kielbasa is very fatty and filled with calories I'd consider sausage as a whole worth giving up on completely.
