I'm a year post-op and have been eating Jerky regularly for about 6 months now. In fact, my husband (who is also sleeved) and I eat jerky so often that we bought a dehydrator and make our own.

I hope so, I eat it almost every day (and I'm 2+ years post-op). So far no problems!

Beef or turkey Jerky is actually and awesome snack to have, I'm gonna try to get a dehydrator this next year and make my own since I love spicy, I on a tight budget so I buy my Snacks bulk and divide them with a kitchen scale my wife bought me at Walmart, very simple: large package of jerky, cashews, and baby bel cheese, use scale to divide into 1oz portions, then you can alternate your snacks between the 3, when you look at the price on those Protein snack packs you realize how much you save, I also use good small freezer bags

No, we don't hunt. We buy beef roasts and bison roasts and we have a meat slicer. We slice the meat and use different jerky seasoning packets from Academy and/or Cabela's. We just slice the meat, marinate it, then dehydrate it. Once it's ready, we use our kitchen scale and divide it up into 1 ounce bags. We usually get about 28 ounces of jerky out of 4 to 5 pounds of meat. It works out to just under a dollar per ounce of high quality jerky.

@ imsoglad56: see that's why I want a dehydrator, I can even get exotic meats here in Texas and make my own Jerky, I used to pay up to $15.00 a lb for it sometimes, I'd rather invest in a dehydrator and make my own, my wife got me a professional Hawaiian ice machine on Amazon last year, it paid for itself by the end of last summer, now I substitute "MIO" or Walmart brand Water enhancers, and still get my sno cone fix, thanks for sharing that.......

Just an FYI, *4* of the small Slim Jims make up one serving. So there is 7g of Protein in 4 of the small Slim Jims, not one.

I like visiting small towns where I live and buying Jerky at their local meat markets, but that's where it gets expensive, the best one I ever tried was White Tail deer jerky spicy sausage, but it was 16.00 per pound so I paid $24.00 for a link and a quarter piece, "ouch" I do find Buccee's jerky great

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
