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

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

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!

O ok keep us posted

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.
