SPI Tortuga 1 Posted May 29, 2011 Hi all! I know it's early now, but I am an avid Tabasco person. Now that I am 2 weeks out, I seriously miss hot spices in my soups/ foods. When might it be safe to reincorporate spices and what did some of you sleevers reintroduce first? Don't want to injure myself!! :-). Thanks!

StacyS 20 Posted May 30, 2011 Girl, I'm addicted to Tapatio n would never give it up!! I added it to my chicken broth immediately after surgery. I was never told it would be bad during the healing process...I'm 6wks out and am doing fine. I think its safe to use it whenever you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeve 4 me 910 Posted November 16, 2011 I love me some tabasco, and I think I added it as soon as I got to the mushy stage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wishes 125 Posted November 16, 2011 My tongue and stomach disagreed for about 6 weeks about my spiciness level, but as of today I eat anything and everything that makes me stomach tingle. I don't know why I had to wait so long though. My tongue said yes, but my stomach burned really bad if I ate anything spicy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikerchick519 202 Posted November 25, 2011 I love Salsa and Chipotle. I started using it at 2 weeks post op with no problems. The only thing I have noticed is everything sweet is now sweeter and anything spicy tastes even more spicy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indymom 132 Posted November 25, 2011 To be cautious I waited for about 4-6 weeks for spicy food. I missed it TONS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JenniJune 79 Posted June 11, 2012 I've been wondering about this too - I have a great recipe for a spicy enchilada Soup that I can do during the full liquid stage, but I'm unsure if my tummy will be able to handle the heat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagochic 73 Posted June 12, 2012 I'm two weeks out tomorrow and tolerate tobacco sauce well. It is my favorite. I have made the skinny girl buffalo wings and went well. I was only able to eat two of them but I tasted great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted June 13, 2012 I never gave up spices! Reintroduce them now and see how they treat you. I never would have made it through that extended liquids phase without spicy chicken broth or hot and sour soup! ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
