Hi everyone ! Im 3 weeks post-op and craving spicy food ! Especially buffalo chicken ! Is it bad to have spicy foods ? I dont remember my doctor ever mentioning this but my mom who had the surgery about 15 years ago said it was bad for me. Does anybody know ? ALSO, im at the gound foods stage. I have to measure 3oz of ground meat plus 1/4cup of mashed potatoes. Does anybody know if its okay for me to add like the broth over the meat to make it moist ? Bc i figured 3oz and thats it no adding anymore not even the broth.

I would think a teaspoon or tablespoon of broth would not hurt just to make it moist. Or deduct a ounce or two from the chicked to accomodate the broth. I would check with your surgeon about the spicy foods, I am 16 months post op and I have spicy foods and it does not bother my pouch.

I can't have spicy food. Like adding hot sauce and such. It feels like my stomach is on fire & it leads me to vomiting. I'm 14 months post up. Now permanently I can no longer eat rice, pork,spicy food,high sugar. I would have the worst poop ever the nasty kind & vomiting. It's not over I figure after 6 months I can be normal. Oh lately no bacon bread or eggs. Liquid eggs ok turkey bacon is not attractive to me lmbo

I would like some spicy food as well but I haven't really since I can't drink anything while eating. However one time I had something a little spicy and I swished some water around without swallowing.

@tinymamiof3kids oh no !! Im not good on eggs myself never have been unless if theyre fried and crunchy. But i havent gone into trying eggs yet, i look at eggs and it makes me want to vomit lol and rice !? Really ! Why not ? Omg thats one thing i have tried with beans and it worked good w.me thank goodness ! I honestly think thats one thing i wont be able to let give up. im hispanic and literally every single dish we serve w.rice lol

@brandnewme2013 yea im st that stage of not being able to drink anything while i eat but i was thinking of making a buffalo chicken salad to kick my craving. And i was told to keep my ground food moist always bc if i dont i feel like a big lump in my throat and i end up vomiting :-/

Yes I was yold the same thing the only meat I feel easily dries out is hamburger meat so I usually mix it with cream of mushroom Soup.

I love spicy foods. I like spicy red pepper humus and spicy refried beans. Horseradish cheddar, pepper jack cheese, and turkey chili w/cayenne pepper or jalapeños, too. So far it doesn't bother me but I don't eat these things every day. I'm trying for more variety in my food. :-)

My pouch loves spicy...it has from the beginning. I love spicy food, so this was always a plus for me.

Tell me about it I'm Hispanic also. You know everything includes rice. I could cook it smell it & serve it but I can't eat it

I guess everyone is different. Pre op, I wasn't much of a fan of spicy foods but would still occasionally eat hot sauce or buffalo wings. Now I can't even eat black pepper without feeling like my pouch is on fire. Sad cuz I really like buffalo wings.

I'm 1 week post op today and put a couple teaspoons of sriracha in my beef broth today and it was awesome. Also tried hot chili powder in it last night and it went well. Everyone is different, but I have been asking the spicy food question to a few people I know and none yet have had a problem. I also see chili as a common meal on threads here.
