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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
