Djmohr 6,965 Posted November 3, 2015 Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. You may find that you don't even like these things you are asking questions about. I used to love eggs, now they both gag me and sit so heavy in my tummy that I cannot eat them. ketchup, I cannot remember the last time I used it. Maybe on a meatloaf recipe. Speaking of meatloaf, used to love it now I don't care if I ever eat it again. Oh and someone mentioned French fries. Double yuck. All I can taste is the oil they are fried in. I have tried them several times because they smell good but am always happy when they just don't appeal. Now, give me a piece of beef tenderloin, pork tenderloin ,chicken breast, fish or shrimp and I am all over that. Add a great vegetable or a side salad, yummo! It really is strange the way you change. I will say that I do love cheesecake now so I need to be very careful and treat myself only once in a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashlegal 525 Posted November 3, 2015 I make my own ketchup and have for a really long time. I have two go-to recipes and one requires a small amount of sugar, the other none at all. It took some getting used to as for many people the "sweetness" of ketchup is familiar and without it, it tends to feel a little "flat." The great thing about making your own ketchup is you can add or take away from it however you prefer. Quiche is something I made several times a month as it freezes well and transports nicely. I don't make quiche at this stage in post-op but I do make frittatas. Frittatas is basically a crust-less quiche. They are super versatile, easy to make, packed with Protein, low-carb and I imagine you could put all the ketchup you wanted on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanessaVSGforme 276 Posted November 9, 2015 Just thought I'd add...I USED TO DIP MY WAFFLES IN ketchup AS A LITTLE GIRL. Now that, makes me feel yucky just thinking about that...???? I'm a big ketchup fan too tho. I loved it on tacos, burritos, eggs, steak, chicken, mac and cheese...just about anything!!! meat wise, all I've had since surgery is chicken. Everything else just feels weird going down. Something to do with texture that just isn't sitting well...and yes...I've used tiny bits if ketchup on my chicken!! I figured since I cut out ALL SUGAR from my diet, a dab of chuppy AKA ketchup can't hurt all that much!! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
