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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
