Jerky

[tssiemer 85]

I'm sitting here 5 hours into an 11 hour road trip gnawing on beef Jerky. Can I ever have beef Jerky again after surgery?

I'm a year post-op and have been eating Jerky regularly for about 6 months now. In fact, my husband (who is also sleeved) and I eat jerky so often that we bought a dehydrator and make our own.

I hope so, I eat it almost every day (and I'm 2+ years post-op). So far no problems!

One of my go to snacks! Eat it almost every week!

Beef or turkey Jerky is actually and awesome snack to have, I'm gonna try to get a dehydrator this next year and make my own since I love spicy, I on a tight budget so I buy my Snacks bulk and divide them with a kitchen scale my wife bought me at Walmart, very simple: large package of jerky, cashews, and baby bel cheese, use scale to divide into 1oz portions, then you can alternate your snacks between the 3, when you look at the price on those Protein snack packs you realize how much you save, I also use good small freezer bags

No, we don't hunt. We buy beef roasts and bison roasts and we have a meat slicer. We slice the meat and use different jerky seasoning packets from Academy and/or Cabela's. We just slice the meat, marinate it, then dehydrate it. Once it's ready, we use our kitchen scale and divide it up into 1 ounce bags. We usually get about 28 ounces of jerky out of 4 to 5 pounds of meat. It works out to just under a dollar per ounce of high quality jerky.

@ imsoglad56: see that's why I want a dehydrator, I can even get exotic meats here in Texas and make my own Jerky, I used to pay up to $15.00 a lb for it sometimes, I'd rather invest in a dehydrator and make my own, my wife got me a professional Hawaiian ice machine on Amazon last year, it paid for itself by the end of last summer, now I substitute "MIO" or Walmart brand Water enhancers, and still get my sno cone fix, thanks for sharing that.......

yes! my NUT said that a lot of her patients use Jerky and such as a good source of protein...I started eating Slim Jims (small ones have 7 grams!) about 1 1/2 months out yummy need to learn to make my own lol....good luck!

Just an FYI, *4* of the small Slim Jims make up one serving. So there is 7g of Protein in 4 of the small Slim Jims, not one.

I get mine at the local Amish store so don't remember specific brands. Troyer is one but there are others.

I like visiting small towns where I live and buying Jerky at their local meat markets, but that's where it gets expensive, the best one I ever tried was White Tail deer jerky spicy sausage, but it was 16.00 per pound so I paid $24.00 for a link and a quarter piece, "ouch" I do find Buccee's jerky great
