I love Penzey's as well. One of my favorites is the Chicago steak seasoning which is ironic because I love it on grilled chicken. We have a store in Houston but I'm afraid to go there because I will want to come home with one of everything.

I think I have more Condiments and seasonings in my refrigerator and pantry than actual food.

What have you discovered or do you use to add flavor to your meals? Any basics or gourmet spices, seasonings, herbs, or condiments that you can't live without?

I love browsing specialty food stores and our local Amish markets looking for different flavorings. I am still trying to learn how to use many of them.

I just opened a jar of this mustard that I bought before Christmas from Southern Seasons. I added a dab to the plain sliced deli turkey and green onion cheese that I ate for lunch and it has quite a kick. I also happen to like the idea that it comes packaged in a nice glass.

Braswell's Smoky Chipotle Mustard

I've been thinking about placing an order with Braswell's, but every time I look at their site I can't decide: I will eventually either wind up ordering one thing, or everything they sell. I may be giving mustard for Christmas this year!

I didn't see any "Valentina's" hot sauce on your list. Ever try it??

Of course I, who can not tolerate hot or spicy gets a bottle of it every year for my birthday.

Oh well, it's great for re-gifting.

I do love well seasoned food. There is a difference, I think.

Enjoy the spice, you hot mamas and stud muffins!

LOL.

I've actually been afforded an entire cabinet for my spices......and my own private drawer for my knives. Peril lies for any who open either..........

I use flavor god seasonings. Most of my Condiments are either trader joes or Walden Farms.< /p>

I make my own tartar sauce with mayo (real or walden farms) dill relish (has to be dill so there is no sugar), and a dash of seasoning and a dab of mustard.

I make my own honey mustard with mayo, yellow mustard and a few drops of liquid stevia.

If you look at the ingredients of most commercial seasons in the store like marinades and all the packaged spices they are full of crap. Which is why I like Flavor God, almost all of them are paleo compliant.

I get a lot of my dried herbs and spices at the Amish store.
I'm in the soft diet phase and ALL I eat is tuna, and scrambled eggs. ..lol... aside from my protien shakes and Water of course. . But what we're some of your favorites? (If u don't mind sharing ) I mean would it be ok to make me a tiny meal in this phase?

It is grilling season. I read most of this thread but excuse if I post something that someone else has posted.

I have tried a few sugar free BBQ sauces.

Walden Farms is okay. It is easily accessible, at least around here most of the nicer grocery stores carry it.

Hughes is okay, better than Walden Farms has a fake sweetner aftertaste, but its not bad if you are used to fake sweetener. It is available at some Walmarts, it seems like the ones in my area stopped carrying it, but they did a few months ago.

Now onto the best I have tried...

Guy's Famous

http://guysbbq.com/sugar-free-sauce/4121213

This tastes just like BBQ Sauce, no after taste for me. I had my carb and sugar loving friend test it and they loved it too (your tastes can get a little skewed when you never have sugar, so I needed a neutral party). Delicious amazing. I might use it to make some lower carb baked Beans. Summer is saved! I haven't seen it in stores but you can buy it online.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
