condiments...

When can I add stuff like hot sauce back into my life?  My surgery is tomorrow and I love spices.

Spices should be fine whenever you're comfortable doing it.

You'd be surprised what I added to my tuna fish during the soft food phase.  As the two weeks progressed I added anything I could to spice it up.  Just remember, no water with meals so factor that in if you like it spicy.

if by condiments you mean mayonnaise, say your goodbyes now. 

I was adding hot sauce into my pureed soups day one. I didn't have a liquid stage per my doctors plan, so I ate a lot of homemade vegetable soups made with chicken broth & ground chicken. I'd puree it and add a healthy dose of hot sauce. No problems at all.
