beef jerky

those of you who eat beef jerky how long was it before you could start eating it. 1oz has 15g of protein in the bag i got but i am still on soft foods until tuesday but i'm sure this won't be something i will be able to eat for some time. how long before any of you started to eat that?

I wondered the same thing today when I saw it at the store. I don't think I could eat it right now and I'm on regular foods. It's too tough.

 I was eating it at 4 weeks with no problem. But only because we had been travelling all day and I hadn't had any chance to eat and it was all the hotel had. I'm almost two months out now and eat it regularly as a snack. I just make sure to drink a lot more water on days that I do. I also eat turkey jerky but it's harder to find.

the walmart by me had tons of turkey jerky not sure if it's everywhere though

 Good to know, thanks! Oh, and the other thing about jerky is that I always chew it so much that after a while my jaw starts to get sore. =P

I think I was at least at 8 weeks.  The way I looked at it...if you can eat steak you can probably handle beef jerky.  Just be careful......alot of jerky is high in sodium.

I started eating it like 2 weeks ago.. so i think that was my 8th week.  I usually eat it quite slowly and chew.  I buy Jack Links original flavor cause it has less sugar and carbs than the brands that are available around my house.

If I want to get fancy and have 0 carbs i buy "Buffalo Bills 16oz Premium Hickory Beef Jerky Pieces"

This has got to be the best beef jerky i have every had... seriously.

I used to make it myself, but i havent had time lately to do all the prep work.

I will be nine weeks out Tuesday and I ate some last week. I tried the plain beef teriyaki kind and chewed it very well - 2 grams of sugar, 110 calories and 15 grams of protein. No problems. I think it may be my new favorite snack.

I have had a few pieces and its gone down well. I am 6 weeks out tomorrow. I think i tried my first peice around 4 weeks. I can tolerate this but not chicken or steak.... wierd!! AND SO GOOD lol.

I tried it sometime in the latter half of my first year, but wasn't able to chew it up well enough so I never tried it again.... I don;t eat anything that I have to chew and chew and chew...
