hotdog sausages

[teen]

Hi all Im been a bit adventurous been looking through the kichen cupboards and I thought a chilli made with Quorn Tin toms and kidney beans But can across a tin of hotdog sausages high in protein low in sugar are they a safe bet or trouble lol Im blending at the mo

How is the fat content? I never tried them as I don't like them but they are certainly soft!!

didnt think about that

Tina>>>>>>rushes to kitchen to check<<<<<<<< Satuates is 5.4g dont no if thats high or not

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!

I've had the odd frankfurter, which I think is similar to hotdogs, with no problem at all.

Moderation is the key! I can't eat more than one anyway.

I brown one small tin of sliced new potatoes in a frying pan, slice the frankfurter in the pan and pour on one scrambled egg. I grew up eating this traditional German dish and have no trouble eating it. I can't finish it all mind. I used to have a large tin of new potatoes, 4 frankfurters and 2 scrambled eggs pre op.

I didn't think this was high at all, i tend to go for anything below 14grams of fat per serving, which is normally around 100mls/grams. Considering the size of the new tummy pouch.

Am i misinformed?

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.

I quite like that 5g per 100. I think i'll keep an eye on that in future. To be honest, i've not seen the dietician at all, and have never really been given a guideline to follow for fat and sugar, sort of made it up myself, but thought i remembered reading it somewhere. It is silly how everyone seems to be told something different by different surgeons/dieticians though.

 

[shelbell]

the 14g comes from 14g in a total serving (not a pouch sized one), which can be hard to measure, so I tend to use the 5g one these days too

 

[wobbles]

Ah yes Shel, that makes more sense now, ta.

I used to love Hot Dogs until i saw the Jamie Oliver programme about chickens - hot dog sausages are made from mechanically reclaimed chicken

Nowdays my body is a temple of tranquility and calm - not a festering hot dog pit of hell

My dietician gave me a handy little credit card sized card with the guidelines on to carry in my purse!

This is what mine says (all per 100g)

Total fat a lot is 10g or more, a little is 3g or less
Saturated fat a lot is 5g or more, al ittle is 1g or less
Sugar a lot is 15g or more, a little is 5g or less
Fibre a lot is 3g or more, a little is .5g or less
Salt a lot is 3g or more, a little is .5g or less
