3 months out of Roux-en X - can I have beef jerky as a protein?

I am only 2 months out and have been eating it for the last week.  No problems so far but I have tolerated everything I have tried except whole eggs and milk.  I have been very lucky so far.

Hi there!  I am 4 months post-op and I have been eating beef jerky a lot to up my protein.  The only thing I've been warned about is the sodium content.  1 serving of some types of beef jerky contains a days worth of allowed sodium (based on 2000 calorie diet).  Sodium can cause water retention (which can show on the scale) and raise blood pressure...I just try not to eat beef jerky very often or only have a small amount when I do.  Hope this helps :)
