So I am a huge fan of spicy food given my Indian origin. Ofc, I don't eat way too spicy but a decent amount of spice is definitely a must. Hence I was wondering were you ever asked to restrict your spice post-Op? Or we can carry on eating spice level as we did pre-Op?

In the immediate aftermath of surgery, very spicy food caused me stomach pain. But at this point, coming up on 3 years, I can eat the same degree of spiciness as I could before surgery.

Check out your other post. There was some really great advice in there.

I’ve been spicing up my food more than usual. I think it makes a small quantity feel like you are eating more than you are. I’m glad I haven’t been sensitive to the spice.

eh woke up this morning thinking i would SEE and taste below 180lbs, my scale just gave weird readings, started by slowing 5lbs instead of zero, and then just weighed me at everything from 179.4 to 184.6 LOL FML i looked and looked for new batteries but i dont think thats what the issue is. Ill report back tomorrow weight wise if i can find new batteries. I brought cupcakes and these ppl canceled my order so i think the weight loss god are looking out for me. I had around 1050 calories today, tracked on my fitness pal. im not running this evening, i dont fancy it and thats that. Ill go for a nice long run in the morning if its not raining in england, by long i mean hopefully more than 4miles, no more than 6, in my mind really 4.3ishhhhh I am also going to run some errands with my friend tomorrow, we might do lunch, and i look forward to it.

Congratulations on your surgery! What you are experiencing is normal, but it's still unpleasant. Try different temperatures of water (I had to keep mine super cold), flavor packets, hot decaf/herbal tea or coffee, broth from different soups, etc. Also, I found I drank more when I kept a bottle of water in my hand or right next to me. Good luck!

I just use the quick oats... 1/3 Cup Quaker Quick Oats 2/3 Cup Fairlife Milk 15g of Powdered Peanut Butter (this is epic) 15g Unflavoured Protein Powder I have had this everyday since about week 4

I always avoided breakfast and after surgery it’s even worse. I sip flavored water for about 2 hours before I feel up to anything else in my tummy. It needs time to wake up. 😂

I was just approved for revision surgery, I didn't have to go through the requirements for the initial surgery.

Getting used to different portion sizes. I still have a mental “seriously?!?” When I eat dinner and I’m done after like 3 bites. Physically I’m satisfied, mentally I’m not, if that makes sense. Mourning the loss of food as a treat or a reward. This is how I got into this mess in the first place, but doesn’t mean that I don’t still kinda wish I could deal with a bad day by ordering a huge pizza and buying an assortment of candy. Now I just have to deal with my feelings like a well adjusted adult or something? Not cool. (Joking....kinda)
