Ketchup and quiche



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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!! ????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
