Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 10/2 and doing better after spending almost 3 weeks in the hospital. But was just wondering how long should we wait to eat hot sauce to avoid causing any damage to the new tummy or has anybody tried the hot sauce??????

I started using my franks and tobascco about 6-8 weeks post op! no worries I put it on everything, you'll use it again!!

Thanks because nothing has flavor with out it. I'm just afraid it will damage the tummy

I started putting sriracha in my broth a couple days after surgery because I'm a total hothead. I'd put like 5-6 drops in a cup, enough to give it that flavor and a tiny bit of zing. I was sleeved on 10/22 and now? It goes on everything. My stomach hasn't negatively reacted to it at all.

Thank u ima try some Tabasco at least a couple of drops and see wat happens. Do u have or had any heartburn?

No, I've been really lucky that way. I did keep some tums handy, but probably only used them a couple times and now I don't even know where they are. Maybe all my pre-op spicy eating gave me a stronger stomach

I've eaten Franks Hot Sauce the whole time. Not a lot in the beginning.

I was never told not to eat spicy food. I've been putting Tapatia hot sauce on things since I came out of surgery on 9/26.

Wow that's great for u guys I was not told not to eat hot sauce either but I had a hiatal hernia repaired as well and one day I tried hot sauce with my food and I thought I was gonna die from the burning did anybody experience that?????

Nope, but I didn't have a hernia repair, either. That might have something to do with it?

4 weeks post op and I use tabasco no problem.

I had a hernia repair but it was a very small one. In fact, I didn't even know I had one and they hadn't found it on the endoscopy.

I knew I had one before surgery but it was not found during the endoscopy. I just love my hot sauce and hope to eat it again soon.

I love this site! Just earlier my friend asked me 'what are you going to do without your Franks after surgery?' and then I log on and someone's already talking about it! My name is Michelle and I'm a hot sauce addict
