Recommended Posts

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.

M a long way off from a regular diet still being pre op but I was wandering can hot peppers or spicy food be tolerated after your released to a normal diet ?

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.

      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.
