Missing My Hot Sauce



Recommended Posts

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

I've been using Frank's since about 12 days post-op with no issue. I went light with it, but have had zero problems.

Welcome aboard Michelle lol I honestly miss putting it on everything from Soups to potato chips but I know eventually for the ones that are not able to tolerate yet or are pre surgery we will get there. When is your surgery?

Wow 12 days that's great. I had a hiatal hernia repaired so I think that's were my intolerance to hot sauce starts.

I had both a hiatal hernia and a very severe, incarcerated (strangulated) umbilical hernia repaired. But I've had zero issues post-op with drinking or eating. I am very fortunate!

I don't have a date yet, I'm hoping for a late January surgery. I have my EGD mid December and then I have to wait for insurance approval!

I miss my hot sauce too! I had my surgery on the 15th and have been tolerating everything that I am allowed to have and am itching to try my franks hot sauce in my Soup (just a dab) but have been very nervous about trying it but I am also meeting with the dietician and the surgeon for a follow up on Monday and hot sauce will be my first question I have for them! :-)

I soooo love that so many of you had/has the same thoughts as me about the hot sauce! :-)

Yes I'm Mexican and my mom makes home made hot sauce with grilled tomatoes and jalapeños and I'm dying to have it on a tortilla it's so good.

I put hot sauce in my Soups post op with no issues. I have found since the surgery I sometimes crave chilli. It is weird.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
