Spicy?

I'm about 6 weeks postop and on the final food plan. I get to have "real food"! lol However, I was wondering about spicy food--does anyone eat spicy food? Such as Indian food or Mexican or some hot sauce or chili.

I've got a hankerin for chicken tikka masala! But, only if it's ok.

  • Everybody is going to have different reactions with their new stomachs. Just try small amounts and go easy re-introducing everything, including spices. There will come a time when you can eat anythi

  • I have had no problems with spicy food. Some of the first things I did on pureed were tuna or chicken pureed with sriracha sauce, and refried beans with lots of hot sauce added. No issues whatsoever.

Can't speak from experience but I was told by my nut that she finds that most people are able to handle about the same spicy after surgery as they were comfortable with beforehand.

Spicy doesn't work for me any longer. It sit there (not sure where there is), and burns... So no thanks! :-)

Oh I love, love Indian food ..I ate some a few weeks ago and it did sit well with me. I was disappointed cause I love food that is seasoned well with different flavored...Indian, Mexican, Cajun, etc. You may have a different experience .

Interesting. Spicy no longer works me, either, but when I ate spicy pre-band, I mean it was HOT spicy and I loved it. I no longer can even tolerate pickled jalapeños like from Taco Bell. :-(

I love spicy foods. I do find that eating flamin hot cheetos does cause some burnin. Hot sauces and jalapeno peppers don't bother me at all....:P

They are not on my sugeon's list, but it is my one thing I allowed since I am at goal. But I really have to watch it or I will gain......:P

Love Mexican spicy food. However, I don't enjoy it like I did pre op cuz I can't drink Water while eating. Thats when I miss drinking the most - when I eat spicy foods.

I don't think spiciness would cause any problems with ur new tummy.

Mo spicy, mo better for me :)

Thank goodness!

Not like I eat it much anymore but haven't had any problems when I have.

I eat spicy Mexican all the time, mostly my hubby's salsa or pico de gallo. Yummy!!
