Are we supposed to ex spicy foods out im a huge spicy food lover , hot wings ,hot sauce , hot tamales hot peppers im in no rush to find out because I was recently sleeved 3-23-15 but wanted to know if guys have had any pros and cons

I haven't had any problems with spicy food at all. Even started adding taco sauce to my eggs and such in the soft foods stage. The main thing that took some getting used to with spicy foods is not being able to eat and drink at the same time. If it's really spicy, it's hard not to want to reach for some water to wash it down!

At about six weeks I tried medium salsa and have not had a problem with it. I have had spicy chili with no problem. But a jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese did me in for a couple of days. It really got its revenge all the way through my system, to a painful exit.

I don't handle spicy food well. I avoid it.

I started spicy foods during purees and have had zero problems. Bring it on!!!!

My NUT told us no more spicy foods because they could cause an ulcer. However I have eaten wings with no problems and have accidentally taken a bite or two of something spicy (not a huge spicy fan besides wings).

Just finished my leftover scallops with wasabi sauce from dinner last night - and I regularly eat wasabi seaweek, salsa and the Indian foods--just remember the water with meals prohibition means it's good to taste a tiny bite first so you don't feel like extinguishing the fire with a big gulp! I did wait a month or so post op though--in case it affected healing, though that was never medical advice or anything. Honestly spicy foods help me feel satisfied more easily, and so I consider them a bonus!

I'm not a "spicy" fan at all, but I do love wasabi. I can also do Frank's Hot Sauce which a lot of people think isn't hot at all. I can handle both of them with no problem.

cool thanx ????

I was always having very spicy meals before WLS. However, since surgery I have not been able to handle it. It's actually quite frustrating because I love the taste of spicy foods but my sleeve will not tolerate it any more.

I am 12 weeks out and use hot sauce and siracha all the time, also jalapeños, no problems!

yessss lol looking forward to it

Hi, I am in week 3 post op and wanted a more robust & flavorful food a couple of days ago so I made chili with all the spices, bells and whistles. My sleeve handled it just fine but I take a prescribed lansoprazole (melts on my tongue) daily so have no acid/heartburn issues to date. Experiment and see how it goes and I wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for asking this question!! I am 2 weeks post op, and have always been a HUGE spice nut! I can't wait to eat crawfish! We have a crawfish boil this weekend to attend, and I want some badly, but kinda scared. I also love me some Franks Hot Sauce, and Tony Cachere's seasoning!

Yes, I'm 5 weeks out and have been slowly adding spice back in. I love spicy foods, so I'm hoping my stomach (what's left of it) has memory of the heat.

Hi, my surgeon said I could have any spices that I can handle. My grocery store had a hot bar selection of foods and out of convenience I selected 1 chicken enchilada. Later when I ate a bite it was so spicy (and I mean spicy) I had heartburn within 1 minute. I laughed and said "I won't eat that from there again!". Other foods that I spice I have had no difficulty with at all. Bon Apetit!
