I just finished throwing up my dinner. I was so hungry that I ate the first thing i could find which was spicy fried chicken. I took all the skin off and just ate it like I would never eat again. The spicyness of the chicken burned my all the way into my tummy. No more than 5 minutes after eating I had to run out of the house because it came right up. I have eaten spicy stuff since I was sleeved but I think the fried and spicy combination was too much. I regret going into the kitchen. I have learned my lesson. Never again!

That's so funny you posted this because i just had a similar experience. I slow cooked some peaches off my tree and only put my finger in to taste the syrup... Ooh buddy, serves me right i was in the bathroom no more them 5 mins later. Who would known even a taste will get you in to trouble with this sleeve, we will learn. This is all new to us and re-learning how to eat as an adult is very difficult considering all the years put into eating all the wrong foods.

Even though this experience was bad, never say never! It will be hard to eat certain foods over the months, but eventually you can eat anything, even spicy chicken. In fact, today I had shredded spicy buffalo chicken for 2 of my meals without any issue at 13 months post op. By month 6, you should statistically be able to eat just about everything. Some struggle with a few items after hat, but it is not the norm. If in doubt, be sure to take your Prilosec before eating something spicy again. You might wait a couple months before trying spicy chicken again. One type of food I struggled with at month 3 was eating beef (hamburger meat and pot roast). Made me throw up. I tried again in 2 months, but still an issue. Between month 5 and 6, my issue with beef went away and I could eat a burger ( without the bun) and pot roast. So, moral of story : never say never.

Agree with Fiddleman. I had to skip stone fruit season the first year I was sleeved. But by the next time the season rolled around, I could indulge without getting sick.

I still have trouble with melted cheese., donuts and now spicy chicken. I'll stick to my basics for now and try again now. Thanks!
