For a long time, I couldn't do beef Jerky because I couldn't get it chewed to the right consistency. Lately, I can do it and now, I love it. The other day though, had a full serving (in two seatings -some as a snack and some with lunch) and the sodium made my fingers swell up and my rings feel tight! Had to be that because nothing else changed in my diet. I'm going to continue to eat occasionally but I'm going to have to watch it due to high sodium.

So I bought my first bag of beef jerky! It wasn't I bad. Kinda hard and chewy but its a great snack food. I didn't know about checking sugar content. What brands do you buy?

Hello

I bought the turkey sticks..they are a lot softer and very easy to digest and its not bad on the sugar and salt content. They are called Old Wisonsin Turkey Sticks.

I never guessed beef Jerky would be a good choice but omg its great!! Low in fat' date=' calories sugar. And great source of Protein. Yummy.[/quote']

The fitness nutrition store where my husband buys all his workout supplements has 'Ostrich' sticks. Absolutely delicious! I find them to be a little more moist and less chewy than turkey sticks. I'll get the brand name next time we go in.

The ostrich sticks are called Ostrim, they come in different flavored such as peppered, teriyaki and original. I know the Vitamin shop sells them I usually by them by the box of 10 for about $14.

I found these teriyaki tender bites at Walmart that is 10grams Protein for 3 small pieces. I've tolerated these well and it's helped me make sure I've reach my protein quota without a couple shakes a day. The brand is called Jack links and i got the tender bites.

      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.
