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!

Sounds like a good snack to me...remember though that you are eating a snack not a meal...so enjoy a little and don't stress it.......if it has a lot of sodium...be careful k.....

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

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.

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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
