Yeah, it's back. I stopped because I thought people were sick of the title, but I got some pm's that liked the questions. Didn't realize that there are some shy newbies out there, so here we are.

My question today has to do with condiments. I'm on the pureed stage and nowhere in my literature from TWH does it mention condiments. I do know that I have to watch things like the sugar content in things like ketchup and BBQ sauce, but what about things like soy sauce and hot sauce? Or vinegar? I do remember the NUT saying that gravy is great for this stage. That seems so weird to be told to eat gravy....not cut it out of a diet lol.

Thanks!

Kelly

Hi Kelly

The problem with those condiments is that they are full of sugar and you may dump or get ill.
Vinegar would be ok, but ketchup and bbq sauce have lots of sugar.
Best not to get into that at this stage, in my opinion

Take care

I understand that about ketchup and BBQ sauce (which I was really surprised to see had 8 gr of sugar, more than ketchup!) just wondering about soy and hit sauce, and if they wreck the pouch or not

Hey Kelly

They won't wreck the pouch, just be mindful of the amounts since they are high in sodium........... too much may affect your weight loss.
But then in the little amount of food you have I wouldn't imagine you would use much hot sauce or soya sauce LOL

It means surgery.  And it cracks me up everytime I read it because it always looks like "sex" to me and I do a double-take. LOL

Glad the questions are back, I liked them.

PC sells a Ketchup Like sauce, in with the ketchup that has no sugar in it. so if you like ketchup thats the one to go with.

As for the bbq sauce, i made my own from the recipe site using  the zero sugar ketchup,, it's great. I've used mustard with no problem and vinegar,
