Is there anyone that can still eat spicy food after their sleeve? I'm Puerto Rican and I love love love spicy food! Can I still have that after???

Yes, but in small portions.

Another thing to note is that people who love to eat spicy food (including myself) tend to have a habit of drinking Water while eating.

After my sleeve I've found that I feel very bloated if I drink and eat at the same time.

Hence I tend to eat food that is less spicy.

Also.... after my sleeve I've suddenly occasion gastric reflux... which doesnt really go well when I've had spicy food.

I still love the taste of spicy food, but Rex (my sleeve) is just now allowing me to eat anything remotely spicy without complaining about it loudly.

Spicy food still makes me very uncomfortable :( BUT I never really enjoyed it. I do know a few people who LOVE it post-sleeve! I would just be very careful when you re-introduce it and make sure you wait until you are for sure healed 100%!

I am only just over 2 weeks post-op & have no problem eating spicy food (even though I am still on liquids). I had spicy Latin black bean Soup & even spruced up some won ton soup broth with the spicy mustard with no issues. I am sure it is different for some people but so far so good here.

I too can eat spicey foods. I was putting tobasco in my v8 during my liquid stage. So far nothing I have had, has bothered my sleeve........ Just tried steak, tuna, lobster, asparagus, chicken, and scallops......all good!

I haven't had any issues either, but I'm sure the experience is different for everyone. Things I used to like I don't, and some things I didn't like as well I enjoy more now. Strange, but that's the way the sleeve rolls.

I'm from South East Asia... and everything is spicy ...

honestly .... I used to love spicy food....

and I can stomach it .... even now ...

But for some weird reason, I just dont have the craving or lust for it anymore~

I might take abit coz I remember I used to love it... but ... after a taste... dat's it.

Not coz I cant take it .... it's just ... "hmmm nice .. ok ... wat else is there?"

I love spicy food, the only thing bad right now is just about everything gives me gastric reflux. If I take Zegerid it keeps the acid down. Being without a job makes it hard to try to pay $30 for 22 days worth of treatment of Zegerid. I try what we have on hand but it just doesn't work like the Z stuff. Had an job interview today that went pretty good so maybe I will be employed again soon. Having insurance would be so great again. Sorry for the venting.

My sleeve hates spicy food too. It makes my acid reflux back up into my throat. But you may be totally different. I hope you can eat it! :)

I loved it before and have no probs now. I'm six weeks out and been using plenty of hot sauce, wing sauce, etc. made enchiladas last night with trader joes enchilada sauce (has a nice kick) and no issues.

Gastricsleeve4me, are you eating whatever! I mean are you able to eat something and swallow it without throwing up later. I can't eat anything but an egg.

I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to give up hot & sour Soup. I hope my sleeve will cooperate!

      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!
