If you are approved for solid, dense foods then sure. I didn't start eating it until about 4 months out, but Jerky is now a staple food item for me....beef, elk, turkey, bison and even bacon jerky. I Eat it several times/week.

Started eating Jerky at 5 months. I don't eat it as often as I'd like because I think the high sodium sometimes hinders my weight loss. But I love it, especially the flavored ones. I try to buy them at costco to keep the cost down, as my husband can eat a boatload of it, too.

Before surgery I loved it, but since then not so much. I think my increased sensitivity to sodium has turned me off to it.

Jerky is great......but can be super high in sodium.

Jerky is on the approved list with my surgeon once patients hit solid food. I'm pre-op, so afraid I can't offer any advice on incorporating it into a post-op diet.

More importantly, they make bacon jerky?!!!

I like jerkey too (been eating it since 8 weeks out), but dumped on some yesterday... Guess I have to read the ingredients more carefully. I normally stick with plain or peppered, but ate some Terriyaki jerkey yesterday that had a lot of sugar.

I just saw bacon Jerky at Cracker Barrel today.

bacon jerky is awesome. It's more moist than beef jerky and the bits of fat can be a bit chewy, but it tastes so good

I got myself a box like this, I could eat one for a meal
