ThomasLeroy 21 Posted July 13, 2012 I always was a fan of beef Jerky or even slim jims before my banding, I know the sodium is too high. But can you eat either of these after? I'm sure the jerky is a no, but not sure about the old Slim Jim...color me addicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,342 Posted July 13, 2012 I have eaten Biltong (the South African equivalent of jerky) and so long as it is not too tough I can handle it. I did come unstuck though eating droe wors( dried sausage), I think it is the skin that causes the problem. As I was on a game drive at the moment it was incredibly awkward.

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted July 13, 2012 I actually really like the teryaki beef Jerky. It's high in sodium so I go easy on it, but I have had it before with no problems, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pollyanna12 74 Posted July 13, 2012 Funny. I just had Jerky this week. My advice, small small bites and chew about 4 times as long as pre-surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted July 13, 2012 I've tried pork Jerky at costco and had no problems. Just chewed carefully. Tasted like chinese spareribs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
