If the zombie apocalypse were to happen tomorrow, I would be hosed. Absolutely hosed. I do not stockpile anything. My husband stockpiles chocolate. And pop tarts. And sardines. Ick. But I am not a Protein hoarder. I like to go to the store weekly and buy what I need when I need it.

I hoard beef Jerky. Seriously. I have tried all brands from the cheap to the most expensive out there and my favorite is the Walmart Sweet and Spicy. They are often out, so when I see it, I buy 5 or 6 bags at a time. I think I have half a cow in my pantry right now.

I've never tried beef Jerky. It just seems like a terrible thing to do to delicious beef. I want my beef done medium rare with a side of asparagus drizzled in olive oil and Parmesan.

Oh my goodness me too!!! They discontinued my favorite and so I keep a HUGE stockpile of my next best just in case! My family teases me about it all the time!

Ha ha! Well, it much easier to throw into a lunchbox for a car drive or keep in the glove compartment for emergencies!

What's your favorite? And which was discontinued?

I'm laughing so hard right now, but at me, not you - I used to think about this all the time when I was on the DS track.

If we had a natural disaster, I would secretly covet whatever junk food I could get my hands on. I mean, it's for survival, right? ;)

Oberto makes a line specifically for costco called Pacific Gold. I LOVED their Teriyaki Turkey Jerky. Apparently I didn't buy enough to convince them to keep making it all by myself. The Teriyaki Beef is a close second and it's what I buy now.

I am old farm girl, so I could do better than some folks I know - so long as the disaster didn't kill all of the livestock. If there is a person stronger than me around who do the caveman thing with capturing and dressing the Protein, I could do the processing and campfire cooking. I would be hard put to eat maggots, but I can bait one on a hook and go fish.

As for the Medical ID Bracelet, I do have one with the cross and cadeuces on it. It is engraved with my first name and Gastric Sleeve Patient - No NG. Inside a flip latch is my other medical info and the hospital that carries my medical records, my doctor's name, my meds, my blood type and emergency contacts. I have aleady had a stroke, so in case I am unable to speak for myself again, I will at least have the ID bracelet.

I guess that comes from my years in Girl Scouts and 4H. Always be prepared. It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

@@LipstickLady, please elaborate on your no intubation after VSG comment. I've never heard that before. Thanks.

It's not intubation we have to worry about (that's just a short tube that goes into your trachea). It's the blind nasogastric tube that's the problem.....If they pass it without a scope, down your esophagus and expecting a full size stomach at the other end.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
