I've heard the term eating around the sleeve before. I just want to make sure that I'm not doing it. One of my friends made me a special batch of beef Jerky. He made it using Stevia instead of his usual brown sugar. It is a little high in salt because he uses a quarter of a cup of salt for every gallon of Water. He sliced extremely thin and let it sit in the brine for 7 days before smoking. It was extremely good and amazingly easy to eat, because it was so easy I am concerned that I may be eating around the sleeve.

to eat around your sleeve it means that rather than your prescribed meals/snacks you are eating more often, or for a longer time to get more calories in. consuming slider foods that you can way load up on calories or drinking your calories.

which means your restriction is still in place but you are finding a way to consume too many calories.

isn't venison Jerky the best? my mom makes the very best. it is a treat she usually gives us at the holiday times. Because you can't just go get more of this any time you want, I would not worry too much about a treat, especially one that is Protein heavy.

We take long trips and lots of Jerky. Just bought a good dehydrator, got a terrific old recipe from a 90 y/o uncle in Ohio, and it has to be healthier than the processed. My husband wants to do the turkey jerky before he gets his next buck.

If you find a recipe that you like please share it. I have never had a good turkey jerky. Also when it comes to Wild Turkey I can only do the breasts and thighs. After that it just has too odd of a flavor. If I found something that I could enjoy the legs and wings as well that would be awesome.

Once years ago my husband came home with wild Texas turkey, saying you won't like this gamey taste. He soaked it in eggs and milk, then fried it in small pieces. It was the best thing I Have Ever eaten. We have lots of GA turkey on hand for the jerky recipe.

I am happy to use any type of venison in recipes, especially baked meatballs, meatloaf, chili. It is very low fat.

eating around the sleeve seems to refer to high calorie foods which don't give the bang for the buck you need. You can probably cram in mashed potatoes all day, but you are not going to lose weight. @@Dub figured out that nuts can be a problem (good food, too many calories). Alcohol and nuts seem to be the worse.

All that said, I use jerky's as "rescue food" which I think of is things I keep in my travel bag when I am not sure I can get enough Protein. It can be addictive, and I have to watch it, but I do dig it. It makes a stupid layover a good event, becaue I get to break out the gourmet Jerky ;-).

We drive six hours a lot to the Florida panhandle, and a few bites of Jerky keeps us satisfied. No stopping for food.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
