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 am totally into Jerkey now thanks to this thread! Thanks to everyone who posted here. I was getting totally burned out on eating Greek yogurt as a snack.< /p>

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.
      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? 🤷‍♀️
