hi, I'm about 6 weeks post op (rny) and I'm having the worst time getting all my proteins in. The shakes are making me want to gag and so is tuna, eggs, refried beans etc. Would having a few of the jerky bites be ok if I took extremely small bites and chewed the heck out of it??

I would wait until 8 weeks post op, but my nutritionist does recommend small portions of jerky because of the high protein. She also recommends light baby bell.

I am told no jerky, but I do eat the light Babybel.

I found these little packs tgat Oscar Meyer puts out. They are call P3. It has chunks of ham or turkey and cheese and nuts. Each one has 12-13 grams if protein.ad for jerk it's not on my list.

Those P3s are quite handy and good for us. It makes a nice quick lunch at work occasionally.

How many weeks out were you to have nuts?

I was just over 5 weeks when I tried the peanuts. I took it slow, just in case, but it went just fine.

I started off eating the cans of shredded beef jerky. It is made by Jacks Links. My NUT had no problem with me doing that. I didn't start eating the jerky until I was cleared for stage three foods.

I lived on Jack Link Jerky, but didn't discover it until about 6 months out. That and (weirdly) frozen Lima beans, LOL
