I have to agree with that... but I'm not a big ketchup fan. I prefer mustard. (Not on grilled cheese though -- just in general.)

Grilled cheese dipped in ketchup... delicious! You never pour/blob ketchup on food, rather the ketchup is neatly pooled on the side of the plate and the french fry or tip of the grilled cheese sandwich is dipped ever so gently.

omg - i thought i was the only person that did this; since DH makes me feel as such. i use to also dip my shells & cheese into ketchup - but those were pre band days...it "almost" sounds good:rolleyes:

french fries - dip in ranch.

gravy - is "tomato sauce" (grew up in NY - italian g'ma called it nothing but gravy)

the white gravy - not so much a fan, DH counts it as a food group tho.

Yummy - French Fries with Ranch (I attribute 50 pounds of my excess weight to Outback Steakhouse. When I was PG with 1st DD - I CRAVED IT!!!)

As for Food Groups - My youngest DD thinks ketchup is a another food group. She eats it with everything - I mean everything. I have to buy the huge bottles from Sams.

I always liked dipping 90% of things in mayonaisse. Everything tastes better with mayo! Like chicken (on or off the bone), fries, bread, whatever.

I had a friend growing up who ate ketchup like a main dish. She would actually get a burger from McDonalds, and tell them to hold EVERYTHING.. but ketchup.. so it was a bun with a huge glob of ketchup.

wait a minute ... hold everything including the burger patty??

that's different....

btw - mayo bread is what started my weight gain ... when i was 6 or 7 my mom used to feed me 3-4 sandwiches a day of just a thick glob of mayo on it... then 5 years later wondered why i was fat ??? gee - wonder why i dont talk to her anymore... ??? :thumbup:

LOL - Growing up we had mayonaisse sandwiches with EVERYTHING. pizza (dad would make a mayo sandwich), Chicken, (may sandwich) Spaghetti - always white bread with a huge dollop of mayo. He still does it to this day. It had to be Kraft too - no other kind would do.

Aren't they sinful (Cheese Fries)? I haven't had them since being banded - OMG I could drink that ranch sauce! We were regulars at Biloxi's Outback. I got hit on one day (8 months pregnant) by a girl in the restroom. Ah the memories!!! She must have been hard up. Only time a girl ever came onto me...lol

$4.00 a box??? WTH? I'll take some Godiva please and lots of it...

re - outback fries, weren't they ranked the highest calorie/fat restaurant food? ? something like 1800 calories for the plate??

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

My daughter puts ketchup on everything. People look at her like she is nuts when she asks for ketchup to put on her pizza. My bf's son is the same way. My bf puts little packets of ketchup in his christmas stocking.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
