I have read everywhere that beef jerky after surgery is great because its high in protein, low in calories, and almost no fat.. I have never eaten it before so I thought I would try it!!! omg how is this good after surgery??? It's tough! Doesn't or won't it get stuck in your pouch! please help me comprehend this! I felt like I was eating clams lol

I was really apprehensive about jerky after surgery, When I was a kid my mom used to say that Jerky would make you really constipated, and that's on a normal stomach, so I was a little wiggy about it.

But I tried it a couple weeks ago, and I chewed a small piece really fine, and It was alright and I had a couple more pieces. I didn't have any problems with it.

I haven't tried it, thought about it but I have passed so far. I have noticed they have turkey jerkey too

I tried it, didn't like the taste...and I tried it also because of the Protein factor....

But I also tried greek yogurt which I hear everyone talking about

and I swear its to thick and the taste is nasty to me, same for cottage cheese..

Jerky....I did have a few times for the protein...it was fine as long as I chewed it to mush. But...the last time I tried it, it got stuck, I was miserable and finally puked it up after an hour or so. I have not tried it since then and do not know if I will. It is dry and tough, 2 things not agreeable to our bitty pouches. I have found that a Slim Jim once in a blue moon was agreeable and caused me no issues. I did peel off the 'paper' from the outside of it. Not that I would eat them a lot, but I have had a couple. Not sure if this would agree with everyone, as our pouches are all different, but for mine, it was okay.

I've never been a big jerky lover. I found the tender bites at Walmart and have them a whirl. They aren't bad however I couldn't eat alot of them. 2-3 pieces and I'm done. And the sodium is crazy. I'd rather have a different kind of protein but in a pinch they're okay.

My son is a mega jerky eater - but I think it is so gross - no way would I try it now with the pouch. It was bad enough with my whole stomach.
