I asked my surgeon what if there was some kind of major disaster and there was no Protein around (lol) and he saidat least I wouldn't feel hungry He was kidding, but he didn't really answer either.

Do any of you have stores of Vitamins or protein in some kind of "what if" box in a bunker somewhere ? I rarelyever thought (much less planned for) a natural disaster, but this has me wondering! I'd hate to waste away or become really malnourished if something (think earthquake in Seattle) were to happen.

Also, do any of you wear a medical ID tag of any kind stating you have had bariatric surgery? Like what if they had to pump your stomach or suction it out or something? Could lasting harm be done to our little stomachs?

Man, all this jerky talk has been making my mouth water. Then I get a call this morning from the game processor that my elk is ready. Yeehaw! I'll be picking it up this afternoon and start working on my homemade elk jerky! In the meantime, I'll be having rare tenderloin for dinner. Mmmmm

I eat beef Jerky every day. Some brands are better than others. High protein, low carbs...just chew it up good. Can take it in the car too. Do any of you eat it after surgery? I'm 6 weeks post op and have no problems with it.

I have 4 bags of it open right now... all different flavors!

I'm 11.5 months out and my sleeve doesn't like jerky, I miss it so much and ate turkey jerky often prior to being sleeved ????
