  • I'm curious to see others responses.. because this looks good. I have been told before not to eat anything with sugars in the double digits.

I have looked at those before but the sugars seemed too high to me as well. It's the BBQ Sauce. I loved sweet baby rays but just can't do it anymore.

yeah my nutritionist said nothing over 10 grams. This article I read a while ago actually says 8 grams.

The sugar seems a bit high, but turkey Jerky and cured meats in general can be a great snack. I relied heavily on turkey sticks (like beef sticks but made with turkey) in the early months post-op, once I was allowed solid foods.

Man, I lived off of Jerky for months! I needed the sodium to help bring my BP back up. But alas, I have to agree with everyone else. Sugar has to be lower than that. Sweet Baby Rays uses corn Syrup which breaks down quickly and requires more for the same level of sweetness as real sugar or honey. Keep looking, you'll find something you like and is a good jerky.

However, I would also like to add one thing. Don't focus on sugar in one meal, more like the entire day. If you only have 20 grams the entire day, who cares if it all came from one or two items? Unless of course you get the dreaded dumping syndrome. Ugh... I had an iced coffee once that made me want to die!

      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.
