I'll be a year post-op Feb 26th. Last night by husband and I went to a new restaurant and the dish I ordered was spicy (i didn't know). I only ate 3 bites before I couldn't take anymore and OMG did my stomach KILL. For hours last night my stomach was on fire! To the point I questioned going the the hospital (I just felt too dumb lol)...

Anyone else have such negative effects of spice. I've never been a spice eater anyways, but this was horrific!

Before sleeving I was a spice fanatic. I piled on the cayenne and ate Szechuan peppers, etc.. My first venture with hot and sour soup resulted in a trip to the bathroom.

My relationship with hot and spicy food has been discontinued. However, my wife thinks I'm hot and spicy. Fair trade.

Living in South Louisiana, spicy food is the norm. I'm almost 9 months out and haven't had any issues with spicy foods yet.

Of course, crawfish season is just around the corner and it isn't good unless you have tears running down your cheeks and your sinuses are flowing (TMI, huh?! LOL), so I guess that will be the real test!

My sleeve still enjoys spicy hot stuff thank goodness since I do too!!

I lived in Lafayette for a couple years. It is where I acquired a taste for the spicy. Miss that Cajun goodness!

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

I love mexican food!! So far, I've handled the spicy stuff pretty well; although, I wasn't ever a REALLY HOT spice eater!

Now, give me that NOLA Poboy and Beignets. Man, oh, man! Luckily, it's only 1/4 poboy now and one beignet!!!

living in Arizona I'm a die hard "I love Mexican food eater" and since being sleeved September 25, it's hard to get my spicy food to sit comfortably and not hurt. I'm hoping it gets better with time.
