I didn't say you couldn't eat as much as you wanted...I just wouldn't recommend it, lol! I have to watch myself when I buy Jacks Links carne seca jerky...I can eat the entire bag in no time flat and then I retain Water like no bodies business!!!

I eat Jerky a couple of times a day! An ounce or two at a time! That's the only snack I have besides cottage cheese or ham and cheese rolled up. I allow myself two Snacks a day but I am 8 months out now. It's much better than eating junk food or crap in my humble opinion :-)

Definitely over crap. Want to make it count.

Here is a link for real meat eaters, not sweet or soft they do have a few flavors, I like the original and the Jalapeno. I buy the bits and pieces and sticks. This is a soy sauce based the flavor is great let it sit in your mouth for 30 seconds before chewing so it will absorb some moisture. You really get a blast of flavor when you get to the middle. They don't do wild game like the other link I posted hope you like and will enjoy. Also no MSG.

ERMAHGERDDD I LOVE BEEF Jerky.

I'm pre-op. and I'm so happy this is something I can still enjoy a few short months out from surgery. I love that it takes so long to chew and all that Protein fills me up NOW at pre-op, so I can only imagine how little I'll need post-op! Woo!

Word of caution - too much beef jerky = Constipation. I found this out in the worst possible way!

AND! For those of you Jack Link's lovers - I am also a fan of their original jerky. I've tried both target pantry brand and Walmart great value brand original jerky, and it's comparable. The walmart variety had some bits of fat that I didn't care for, but if you don't mind picking some parts off, then it's worth the savings. I haven't tried Trader Joe's jerky, but I'm definitely interested now! I'll have to check that out soon.

Nothing beats the jerky I get from the local meat market by my grandma's house in Wisconsin, tho!! I wish they shipped!!

I dare not eat Jerky any more. I was working over a particularly tough piece when it pulled out my front crown. I was at Cocoa Beach at the time and nearly lost it in the Atlantic Ocean. I brought it back and a dentist glued it back in. Sorry about the face, here, I'm always working for laughs out of my granddaughters. :rolleyes:

Ostrim is the GREATEST!

Beef and ostrich. Very low fat and you get a lot for the number of calories in a serving.

I discovered it when I was in smoothie King getting a Gladiator.

I love the Turkey Perky Jerky. Comes in a gold bag and I buy it at Walmart. 1 oz is only 50 calories, 0 fat, 2 carb, 9 Protein, 2 sugars.

My favorite snack. I have been eating an ounce a day.

I buy mine at costco. They have a brand called Pacifc Gold that is a bag of individual bags. they are 1.25 each and have 14g Protein. I have one every afternoon and take one with me in the car when I know I am going to be out running errands cuz I can snack on it as I drive. Wasn't allowed to have it until 12 weeks when i was allowed steak.

The Tennessee Jerky is my favorite. I am from Louisiana and I love the Cajun flavor. Also the barbq and Bloody Mary flavors.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
