I'm 3 weeks out, and my NUT said I could have a portion of a veggie/soy burger like Boca or Morning Star. I used to eat these as just a regular burger. So my question is when can I add condiments to this? Thanks!

You should be able to add condiments, just watch out for high fructose corn syrup.

I love the Morning Star burgers! I eat them regularly. I think I was using those condiments in moderation pretty early out after I started solid foods. 1 patty for me is the perfect portion. You probably won't be able to finish half at 3 weeks out

I never eat ketchup, but I started eating mustard and pickles pretty much as soon as I was allowed "all foods as tolerated." For me, the mustard and pickles make low fat burgers edible.

Morning.

Ketchup has a lot of sugar in it. The mustard is okay. As for pickles, lots of salt if having dill and lots of sugar if having the sweet pickles.

I was told to use mustard over any condiments.

My surgeon doesn't mind some sugar, he is just very against high fructose corn syrup. If you must have ketchup, be sure and read the label. Manufacturers are starting to pay attention to consumer demand to not rely on high fructose corn syrup so you can find some alternatives.
