Hi... I'm 2 months out at 46 pound down... I just recently saw turkey Jerky in the store ... The nutrition seems pretty good .. In 1

Oz there is 13 grams of Protein and less then a gram of fat. I've tolerated any food I've tried.. And just curious is this is a good snack or

Not

Thanks

I think it is a good snack but the bad things is it is high in sodium.

I often eat Jerky for a snack. Not sure how well you will tolerate it at only 2 months out. The thing with it is that it's so dry and you have to chew it a TON to integrate enough saliva for it to go down, then hope your tummy doesn't mind it. Lol. Good luck trying it out!

Sounds like a good snack to me...remember though that you are eating a snack not a meal...so enjoy a little and don't stress it.......if it has a lot of sodium...be careful k.....

Your doing wonderful.....all the best to you!

I'm almost 6 weeks out and the beef jerkey is amazing. I can tolerate it. The turkey jerkey is also very good. Lots of Protein. As for right now I woupdnt eorry about sodium...just get your protein in and u should be good.

I bought a dehydrator and have made my own Jerky at home. Turns out pretty good--and you get to control what seasonings you put on it. (Got my dehydrator at Wal-Mart for about $45--takes a while to dehydrate meat--about 4-6 hrs)

My NUT recommends it and they sell Ostrich jerky at Surgeons office w/20g's of Protein. It tastes Identical to beef. I agree w/other commenters, has material sodium and not sure when your sleeve will accept it. I'm still on soft so haven't tried yet.

I was never a fan of beef Jerky. Tasted weird and artificial. Then my son begged for a bag while we were at a trade show, and I tried it after our picky younger son said it was good. It's Stan's beef jerky, and you can order it online. The fajita flavor is outstanding!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
