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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
