I think it is a good snack but the bad things is it is high in sodium.

I often eat jerky for a snack. Not sure how well you will tolerate it at only 2 months out. The thing with it is that it's so dry and you have to chew it a TON to integrate enough saliva for it to go down, then hope your tummy doesn't mind it. Lol. Good luck trying it out!

Your doing wonderful.....all the best to you!

Probably has more than just sodium in it. >.< but i eat it very occasionally.

I'm almost 6 weeks out and the beef jerkey is amazing. I can tolerate it. The turkey jerkey is also very good. Lots of protein. As for right now I woupdnt eorry about sodium...just get your protein in and u should be good.

I bought a dehydrator and have made my own jerky at home. Turns out pretty good--and you get to control what seasonings you put on it. (Got my dehydrator at Wal-Mart for about $45--takes a while to dehydrate meat--about 4-6 hrs)

My NUT recommends it and they sell Ostrich jerky at Surgeons office w/20g's of protein. It tastes Identical to beef. I agree w/other commenters, has material sodium and not sure when your sleeve will accept it. I'm still on soft so haven't tried yet.

Thanks all... Got some and tried it :) went well... Looks like I found a new snack !

I was never a fan of beef jerky. Tasted weird and artificial. Then my son begged for a bag while we were at a trade show, and I tried it after our picky younger son said it was good. It's Stan's beef jerky, and you can order it online. The fajita flavor is outstanding!
