I love spicy food. Eat Habaneros or use habanero hot sauce almost everyday. I crave hot hot hot! My question is for those that have been sleeved and are on regular food (and those that love the heat as much as me!). Have you tried to eat anything as spicy as a habanero? Did it go well? Thanks!!

I LOVE my spice! I am about 13 months out. I didn't do any peppers until after I resumed a full diet and have had no issues (I don't even get heartburn anymore...which is probably due to the restriction). I still follow the basic instructions...focus on dense proteins...then others...eating slowly and stopping when feeling satisfied. Peppers are definitely more of a condiment now...though I still order a snack size of Blazing Wings from Buffalo a Wild Wings!

I still get my hot in with my food. I have lowered the volume a bit b/c I know I cannot drink Water for a bit.

Speaking of, I was out and forgot and took an adult drink in right after/during food. I was in pain until we left and I walked around - just a note on what worked when I made that mistake.

Good to know! I'm sure I will have to cut back but as long as I can have a taste here and there I'll be happy. :-)

I'm confessing that while on clear liquids I added hot oil to my chicken broth.< /p>

I'm sure I will probably do the same!

For the past month I have been addicted to pickled jalepenos and Frank's Red hot sauce. I put them on everything...literally. I probably ate them 1-2x a year pre-surgery so this is pretty funny to my DH. I don't have any issues after I eat them. That being said I am on a prescription for stomach acid so I likely don't suffer because of that. Everyone's so different with how their stomachs react though so try little bits at a time and test out how your sleeve reacts.

I accidently ate raw tomatoes last week (salsa...I thought it was picante but it was fresh) and I was literally bent over horizontal until the Gas-X kicked in. That was horrible.

Unfortunately for me, spicy foods just aren't in the cards.... yet.

I used to be able to handle all kinds of heat, even enjoyed the Blazin' Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings once! Buffalo wings were right up there with my favorite foods of all time, and the hotter the better!

Sadly, I have found out the hard way that even a little bit of buffalo or any other pepper-spice, makes my stomach want to do the ol' Texas two-step right to the nearest restroom for a session kneeling before the porcelain god. It took about three or four "I'll never learns" before I finally just decided to give that stuff a rest.

I dunno, I hope a few months from now I might be able to handle it... but for now, I'll just stick with the slightly blander stuff. The results I've gotten make me miss it that much less. :)

Oh.. spicy food..

I'm Thai, so just imagine how craving I am for spicy food. Just recently (7 weeks out) I added a few drops of Sriracha sauce or sweet & sour chilli sauce for chicken in my food and had no problem with it. Still don't dare to go for the fresh chili though.

I put hot sauce on my refried Beans about 2 months post sleeve. We must have 50 bottles of HOT sauces in our house. We do not eat peppers other than Jalapenos and Poblanos, but the hot sauces are our condiments!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
