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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
