Spicy Foods?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! So question for the old expert sleeves out there.. I am a chili fanatic..I used to like hot things..but now I am so used to having lightly spiced foods secondary to being sleeved 9 weeks ago. My question is when do you eat spicy food again? I tried some baked chicken breast meat with some seasoning spice and honestly ..it was too much..this from someone who loves habernos. So ..is this something that could be incorporated later? Thanks for the help in advance!

Everybody is different. I was adding hot long green chilies to my blended refried Beans 10 days post-op. I'm now 3weeks post-op & have no problems with roasted & peeled jalapeños.

It definetly is an individual thing. When i came home from the hospital i slipped some into my chicken broth and i about cried it was so hot. Im almost a month out and can tolerate heat as i used to before. Its a trial and error thing, i wouldn't start testing things out until your a few weeks out just for safe measure. I hope your sleeve lets you have it again. [=

I already eat spicy foods with no problem other than finding a level that I don't feel the need to drink occasionally while I am eating. I make chili every other week and it tends to be very spicy, at first I had to go light until I adjusted to no fluids, but I'm fine with whatever I want now. The other day I had Thai pineapple curry and it was glorious :)

Glad to read the responses to this thread. One of the things that worries me most about this procedure is the possibility of not being able to eat the spices I love. I'm that guy who puts dried tien tsin peppers in eggs and diced cayenne peppers in my tuna. I'd hate to think that my future is going to be bland and boring food. This gives me hope. Thanks.

I just started week four. At week two I was told spicy foods were ok. Try egg drop Soup (high in protein) with a little tobasco/hot sauce.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
