Hi Jacque, glad to hear all went well. In answer to your question, the sugar content you are seeing is from the apples themselves. Fruit has natural sugars in them so you will always see sugar when you have fruit. I would say it is ok to try it but be careful. If your pouch is extremely sensitive to sugar you may dump on it. If not, you will be fine, just remember that it doesn't have any protein in it so you don't want to use it to often. If you need it to help get meds down I would say go ahead and try it and see how it goes. For myself, my pouch isn't real sensitive to sugar so I do fine with fruit and would have the no added sugar applesauce at 2 weeks postop. Just keep taking care of yourself, and if you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hi and thanks for answering my post and wishing me well. The surgery went fine--great actually and I am 1 week post op. I was in surgery at this time last week. Off pain meds for two days now. Question about eating. My guide says I can have sugar free applesauce so I went to the store and got no sugar added - but when I got home I looked on the back and it has 11 g sugars. I shouldn't eat thta should I - or can I?? I'm confused. Thanks for your help. Jacque
