If you are approved for solid, dense foods then sure. I didn't start eating it until about 4 months out, but Jerky is now a staple food item for me....beef, elk, turkey, bison and even bacon jerky. I Eat it several times/week.

Started eating Jerky at 5 months. I don't eat it as often as I'd like because I think the high sodium sometimes hinders my weight loss. But I love it, especially the flavored ones. I try to buy them at costco to keep the cost down, as my husband can eat a boatload of it, too.

Before surgery I loved it, but since then not so much. I think my increased sensitivity to sodium has turned me off to it.

Jerky is great......but can be super high in sodium.

Jerky is on the approved list with my surgeon once patients hit solid food. I'm pre-op, so afraid I can't offer any advice on incorporating it into a post-op diet.

More importantly, they make bacon jerky?!!!

I like jerkey too (been eating it since 8 weeks out), but dumped on some yesterday... Guess I have to read the ingredients more carefully. I normally stick with plain or peppered, but ate some Terriyaki jerkey yesterday that had a lot of sugar.

I just saw bacon Jerky at Cracker Barrel today.

bacon jerky is awesome. It's more moist than beef jerky and the bits of fat can be a bit chewy, but it tastes so good

I got myself a box like this, I could eat one for a meal

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
