Tried beef Jerky for the first time today! And it was a complete success! It was easy to chew, lean, and full of protein! It was even peppered..mmmm! My new favorite snack.

For dinner I had a small cup of shrimp cocktail [minus the shrimp] im not too big on seafood. But the soupy stuff and the veggies...Yummy, too! What a good day, opposed to others where everything makes me sick

Yay! I was wondering about jerky. My friend sent me a website with great jerky.

www.healthysnackin.com. You should eat the shrimp! Great protein!

I had my surgery Feb 15th... I was scared to try too! but I did just fine. just make sure it's not too dry, and it's chewy and soft. I tried a different brand the second time, and BOY Did I regret it! lol

if you decide to try it make sure you chew very well. good luck!

Sweet

yes amy!

I know seafood has tons of protein... I'm still summing up the courage to try it. who knows, I might even love it! lol

Jerky is sooooooo good and lots of protein

I've loved jerky since before surgery now my problem is if its to dry. I also want to look into making my own that way more flavors and always on hand.

A friend told me she would just chew it and spit it out when she was post op... Hvnt tried that though I'm scared

Thanks Sweet I'm gonna try it when I get back home lol

Walmart's brand of teriyaki jerky is really moist and not real salty

You guys might want to try turkey jerky. I didn't even know there was such a thing until I ran across Pacific Gold Teriyaki Turkey Jerky completely by accident at Costco. About the same calories, fat and protein as beef jerky but much more moist and tender. Amazon has it as well. Very tasty!!

you're welcome Josee

I tried a brand called Primal. I found it at food fantasy which is an organic place. It is vegan, between 70-90 calories and 10-20 grams protein. Very moist. There were 5 flavors I think. My favorite was Thai peanut. I am pre-op so I don't know about tolerance but it was very moist. There is a website.
