Have your tried making your own Jerkies? It's quite easy and you can cut a lot of the salts out and make any flavor you like. I've been making my own trail mixes with mixed nuts, raisins, and tons of different dried fruits.

I am so with you on this one!!! I have been eating the Jack Link's Jerky Chew. I eat a can a day. I always have a few cans in my backpack and at my desk at work. My dietician thought it was a great idea, and gave me her blessing at my 6 week post op visit.

I am not post-op but I buy turkey Jerky at Trader Joe's. It is generally a little softer than beef jerky.

Just to let folks know turkey jerk is out there. I like the turkey jerky better than the beef jerkies I have tried but I think what I like better is how the meat is processed. The turkey jerky at Trader Joe's is not real hard, like most beef jerkies I have tried.

I love beef jerky, too. Just saying. . . .

I like the Krave brand of jerkies. They are moist and good. I do limit how much I consume, though, because they are processed with a lot of salt and sugar.

I eat Jerky often. Watch the sodium and fat levels for any Jerky products, they really vary. The best tasting, moistest, zero nitrates and no preservative Jerky IMHO is Perky Jerky. It's addictive, be carful!

I buy liquid smoke then marinate in different sauces.. I've even been know to marinate in tequila for 2 days before dehydrating and the last 2 hrs of dehydration squeeze lime juice on each piece or nugget. Marinating/making your own Jerky at home lets you have slightly more control over the sodium levels! (:

Pre-op still....

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
