I was 2 months out when I started Beef jerky. I am one of the "fortunate" ones that don't dump though. I had no problem tolerating it then.

I got the go ahead on turkey and beef jerky at 3 months out. Sugar is very low, so even if you are one of those (like me) who "dumps", it's not a problem. Good source of protein and low calories. I like the Oberto brands...

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I didn't try it till five months out. Meat was one of the more difficult foods for my system to handle after surgery.

I started about 5 mos out. Great snack food, but I watch the sodium amounts very carefully. 1 pack per day equals 2 days sodium requirement. My PCP woke me up to sodium as one of the silent killers

I don't think dumping is the problem - the problem with beef jerky is that you better chew, chew, chew it until you can't chew anymore! I ate some 2-3 months out and everything was fine. Ate some again, didn't chew well enough and ended up sick for two days with that "stuck" pain and some vomiting. I bought some papaya enyzme and that seemed to help. Be careful!
