I haven't been near anything that has been extreme in the spicy catagory...but I have been having medium salsa and peppered pork. I have been fine so far.

No problems here. I think it depends on the person, though. I can tolerate pork better than some ppl

For me the spicer the better!! I've only pissed off the pouch once because of something being too spicy.

The spicier the better. Before I had the surgery when I ate spicy food a lot of the time I would get heartburn. I haven't had heartburn since I've had surgery. My doctor took me off of my gerd meds. He said I probably wouldn't need them. Of course I didn't believe him. I haven't taken anything since the day of surgery. April 23, 2012.

I haven't had any problems with spicy but I don't recall exactly how far out I was when I started eating spicy. I'd recommend checking with your doctor. Starting too soon before the healing process is complete or at least well on it's way could be an invitation for an ulcer. I'd love to hear the answer if you run it by your surgeon.

I had hot and sour Soup not to long after surgery....my pouch made funny noises with each sip but it stayed down with no complications
