That's really up to your belly honestly. I can eat spicy foods some days but not others.

I would not eat pretzels period. Most carbs should really be avoided. test driving what carbs your tummy will have and will not is a good way to form some bad habits.

If you want spicy, how about a virgin bloody mary, with extra spice or horseradish thrown in? A carrot/ginger/kale/cilantro/cayenne pepper smoohie has a KaRazY kick, and is really nearly addictive.

I make buffalo chicken. Great spice. 2-3tbsp of the chicken in the can, 1 teaspoon(you can increase it as tolerated/spice craving), & a tbsp of FF ranch dsg. I've had this through purée stage and now on soft foods. It's really only about 60 calories at most & it's healthy and has Protein. I found this recipe under recipe sharing tabs and it's been my absolute favorite. My tummy tolerated it fine. The actual recipe I got the idea from uses bleu cheese crumbles too. I'm not that crazy* about bleu cheese, but just a suggestion. I also started getting creative and heated up the canned chicken with a tbsp & 1/2 of plain Greek yogurt and salsa. I also melt shredded cheese with the chicken, but topping it is good too & that's flavorful and packed with protein. Your tummy could be different but I did this on the purée and now soft foods too & my stomach has tolerated them fine. Sometimes to mild the flavor I use the butter spray to mellow it out a bit. Just some ideas with spice that helped me!

Hmm no pretzel, period. Go ahead and try some hot sauce; since surgery I have been a strong convert to the hot stuff and can't get enough of it.

I think pretzels would be ok further out. My dr doesn't allow grains for the first 6 months. I'm ok with that. I plan on eating grains eventually and sparingly including pretzels but want to hold out for as long as I can even after I'm allowed. :)

As far as spicy things go, I like spicy but try not to have it be the last thing I eat in a meal or else I wanna drink sooner than the 30 minutes.

I agree... The real thing would be better. Maybe puree some chicken and add some buffalo sauce

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
