Is that 5.4g per 100g? If so it is only sightly over the border & could probably be tolerated. I have had a few hotdogs along the way since hubby LOVES them and did not have a problem. However, they are not all that nutritious. They are made of the very lowest quality meat (the stuff that is left over after proper meat processing) and they contain fillers and some nasty preservatives (nitrates is one in particular which some suggest can cause cancer). After bypass, many people feel you have an opportunity to feed yourself the premium foods because you consume so much less and I agree somewhat to that philosophy. That said the occasional low-quality food is not really bad, jusy try not to make it a regular thing by making most of your diet wholesome & nutritious. As always, that is just my opinion and like they say everyone has one!

You know hun, it seems that everyone is told something different and in that case trust the professionals not me in the peanut gallery. I was told in order to avoid dumping or a tummy ache to use the 5g/per 100g for both fat & sugar as a guideline. I have gone over a bit on each with no adverse effects tho. I think my guideline was a conservative one but it has served me well since in 3 months I have never dumped or vomitted. I have also lost 1/2 my weight in that time.
So if what you are doing works for you then I say you were not misinformed.
