Ever since surgery I've been craving spicy food. My doctor said I can eat it and if my new stomach doesn't like it then I'll know right away. I'm 4 weeks post op with chili & buffalo flavored foods calling my name. Anyone able to eat spice with no issues? TIA

I'm only 6 days out and still on liquid but my current favorite Soup (strained of course) is an organic chicken tortilla southwest style Soup. Definitely has a kick but my doc said the same-as long as I'm tolerant of it, shouldn't be an issue. I would say minimal at first, small bites, and take your time savoring :) you know your pouch best!

I eat spicy foods (really really spicy hehe). I like sour and spicy stuff, and don't care for anything sweet. I have no issue with it at all. My surgeon said that's fine as long as I can tolerate it too, so whew. :D I do take famotidine 20mg twice a day as per my surgeon.

I could not WAIT until I had a teaspoon of refried Beans with a dash of salsa or taco sauce! I am a Mexican food junkie! Three years later, maybe four chips and Queso and Salsa, I stop'. I think I could go on for weeks!!!!! But my health is more important, and I refuse to go there.

I tried hot and sour Soup Friday and it burned a little in my chest. I'm going to try again in another couple weeks! My heartburn is really bad though. I hope once that subsides I will tolerate a bit more spicy:-)

Ever since my surgery I have just wanted to swim in a giant bowl of Siracha sauce.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
