Killer Protein

There has been so much good, which has come from weight lose surgery. Not the least of which, weight loss. However, this afternoon I discovered a dark side.

I'm always on the lookout for a high-protein snack. There is only so much yogurt a man can consume. This afternoon I decided to try beef jerky. It's lean, high in protein, and quite tasty for a carnivore like myself. Unfortunately, an ounce and a half of beef jerky landed in my stomach like a sixteen ounce T-bone steak. The landing was bad enough, but for the next two hours my stomach felt like it was going to explode.

Variety isn't always good; back to yogurt.


In the interest of full disclosure, Michelle's comment was, "You sound like a pittiful old man."
