i just started eating beef jerkey - i luv it

10 grams of Protein - 7 grams of carb

what stage are you in. are you a new sleever?

liquids,liquds, mushy stage, soft stage - no beef jerkey

then you'll be on solids and beef jerkey is fine

someone included link to a great websight that you could buy beef jerkey on line

if anyone could post that or something similar - i would appreciate

thanx

LOVE my beef jerkey!

I eat it 2-4 times/week. I eat about 1 8oz package every 3 meals. Started about week 8.

I love, love, love the Trader Joes Jerky. Its soft and comes in 3 flavors (peppered, teryaki, original) and has no hard or muscle-y bits. Im sure the Turkey jerky would be healthier- but I cant stand it.

You can also get Oberto jerky at costco in the smaller "snack" packs that are good for Portion Control and on-the-go sizes.

I have tried it but find it really sweet. I don't know why that is.

I absolutely love beef Jerky. I buy different brands and the ones I usually buy are 15g of Protein per serving, low fat, and very low carb. Almost perfect for a sleever really.

And I just remembered I started eating it at about 3 months out but I bet some people can tolerate it sooner if they can tolerate steak. For some reason I just didn't try it before then.

I started eating it about 2.5 months out. I can a few normal sized chunks. Careful early on if you eat it to fast its a good way to get "the slimes" eek

you can make your own jerkey. :) they sell jerkey mixes and you can read recipes online or buy recipe books for making jerkey. it's fairly simple.. just need a dehydrator. :)

doing that could save you some money, too.. cause you can buy meat when it's on sale & make tons of jerkey :)

These are the ones we usually use. They have all kinds and sell wholesale. The also have exotic types.

http://www.tennesseejerky.com/

This site is basically a competitor of the first so price wars sometimes happen with them.

http://www.bulkbeefjerky.com/

This is more of a retail one but they have other products also.

Hope that helps you.

Should I worry at all about the sodium in it?

You are right, it is an awesome choice!

I waited a few months before trying Jerky but I love it and it is fine with my stomach. I like the jack links because it is softer.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
