I'm just now starting to tolerate jalapenos again. They were one of my favorite spicy things pre-surgery, but they've make Rex unhappy every time I've eaten them post-op until this week. I'm 9 months out.

So there is hope, thank you lissa! My sweet mama made me some turkey chilli today with red crushed pepper flake and it went down great. The jalapenos being fresh might have been the issue for you, since you actually have to bite into the pepper. Any who thanks for your advice. [=

I know Crazycatlady's hubby (who had RNY I believe) is a huge hot pepper nut' date=' and I love my hot spices as well. I'm still on stage one (liquids only) but my own research has shown things to start to get back to what you would consider "comfortable" after a while.

I will test jalapenos with Staypopped the Mushmallow Man when I get to that point. :lol:[/quote']

Im two weeks out and on purees, just attempted red crushed pepper flake with turkey chilli went down good. Good luck with ur endeavors. [=

Everybody is different. I'm currently enjoying some really thin refrained Beans with hot long green chilies blended into them. The texture is not great, but the flavor & heat is heaven.

This has been on my mind lately! I'm Trinidadian (from the Caribbean) and I grew up eating habaneros like it was nothing. The thought of not being able to but my homemade pepper sauce (a concoction of garlic,cilantro,habaneros, lime,salt,vinegar) on food for perhaps weeks makes me sad....but I'll get over it! Pre-Op I flavor my broths and Soups with BW3s blazing sauce, which is amazing! I get sleeved Monday, so we will see what happens on the Post-Op side. :-)

I was a "bad" girl and starting hitting the chili garlic sauce while in my pureed stage. I was eating cottage cheese and it just needed a dash of chili garlic to make it more interesting. I am about 3 months out and I still use my Steve & Ed's Louisiana Hot Sauce, Sriracha, chili garlic sauce and such without any issues. Granted, I am not trying to "burn" a hole in my stomach or anything. I have just been adding enough spicy stuff to give my food flavor.

I haven' tried spicy foods very much since my surgery but am slowly building up to it. I plan to stop at the Thai restaurant run by a local family and get their homemade Tom yum gai Soup. It has fresh lemon grass and is made from medium to hot depending on your tolerance but is absolutely wonderful.

Im caribbean as well (st.croix, virgin islands over here). Pepper is nothing to me as well. Im 2 weeks out and was able to tolerate red crushed pepper yesterday in some chilli. Dont start with habaneros, try a milder pepper, just gotta build it back up. Alot of people have been telling me that at a month out its alot easier. Good luck to you and am praying for a speedy recovery for your surgery monday! See you on the losers bench soon. [=

I'm eight week sport op and LOVE spicy/hot food. In fact the hoer is is the more I like it. So far i haven't had an issue and I drench my food in something hot or vinegar. Probably should be careful so as not to burn a hole in tummy...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
