I've always loved a little kick to my eats, but about a year post-op it hit me that I ONLY desire to eat foods which are spicy. Mexican, Thai food, and everything in between! Last time I had pizza it was pepperoni with jalapenos, I then showed it in red peppers, then even put sriracha on it!

Any one else feel an affinity for spicy food post-op? I wonder why this is.. (definitely not pregnant)

I love spicy food and was s ared I wouldn't be able to tolerate them after but have had no problems so far! YES!!

Not craving spicy food per se, but I love it. No problems with it.

I always crave spicey foods. I will eat Lean Cuisine's and dowse it with cayenne pepper. Love spicey mexican. Pizza smoothered in chopped red pepper. Love it all and glad I can tolorate it!!

i have been craving spicy food since surgery. Not spicy hot food, just food with a lot of flavor. i love Mexican now, and before i could hardly stomach it. Slim Jims in all different flavors too. I think we taste food better now, and just like the flavors more?

Ick! Maybe rethink the SlimJims? I seem to recall that they are molded, pressed and formed grease ... and spice of course. I shouldn't talk because I have a dry salami habit.

Absolutely the opposite with me!! I can't handle spicy foods AT ALL... it kinda sucks lol. I was never a big spicy-hot food fan, but I could tolerate medium-hot wings... now I have to go mild and it has to be very light I'm glad you can still enjoy your favorite food!

I just have a bite every now and then nothing major. All the good things in life are made distingustingly aren't they lol.

Woo hoo! I am glad I am not the only one! I have always loves spicy food but now...cant get enough either! If you can take it...eat it. Spicy is good for the metabolism right?

I am pre-op and it was good to read that I might be able to eat spicy one day again. I do like spicy food and thought it was one of the things I had to give up with the sleeve so glad to hear that it might be in my future.

Yes I'm glad i have found people the same. I'm 26 days post op and all I want is spice currys hot things and it agrees with me better than most. So glad I don't have intolerance x

I can't for the life of me eat anything that doesn't have spice to it. I'm a spicy food lover since childhood. I was very worried that I won't be able to eat spice post sleeve (GERD) but thank goodness I eat spice the way I used to with no issues.

If my food isn't spicy, I'm not eating it.
