spices or sauces in pureed diet

[jamieq 310]

Can I eat curry or buffalo sauce in purred diet phase?

I saw a recipe for low fat pureed buffalo chicken and another for pureed curry sweet potatoes that looked good.

Right now I dislike anything sweet and love things that are savory

Any thoughts?

Hey Jamieq!! I am not an expert and am only on my 6th day out but what I was given does not specifically exclude spicy. I would just start on the mild side and work my way to a little more as you see how it affects you!! Hope you get there!!

I had no trouble with spicy stuff and sauces in pureed phase. Just be sure that if you are adding sauce to something, you know exactly how much you are adding so you can account for it in your daily allowance of calories, carbs, fat, etc. Some of those sauces will be very calorie-rich and you want to be careful with them, as even small amounts can add up quickly.

I was told at the pureed stage that spices were fine but sauces were a no no. Actually that advice is repeated by my clinic coordinator for every phase up through the first year.

If the Protein is served in a sauce try and scrape it away as much as possible. Avoid red sauces all together because the prepared ones contain sugar. If you want to make a Tomato sauce at home just be sure to not add sugar to the ingredients.
