I'm five weeks out now and about two weeks ago i started using very little franks red hot on some chicken. Took it slow and I seemed to be ok.

At my dr visit last week I specifically asked about spicy. He said go for it but eat 1st bite and wait a few minutes just to be sure pouch is ok with it. i went straight to taco bell & ate a couple of bites of the meat and cheese from a soft taco. i used the hot sauce & no probs. i remember when i could eat 3 of those + the big full strength Pepsi. I couldn't even eat 1/3 of the meat & cheese only. felt weird but good to throw away the rest. I am 1 month out today.

I LOVE spicy foods... I was like 3-4 wks. post op before I started with the hot suace... I was OK with it from that point on. I guess you have to try and see what works for you

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but...I love spicy food too but it can be an irritant. Having just been diagnosed last week with an ulcer at the anastomosis, I would urge caution with alcohol, chocolate, and spicy food. All taboo as of last week until I get this thing healed up. No pain, no symptoms, I feel great - but it's there all the same and I didn't have a drop of alcohol, a bite of chocolate or anything even remotely spicy until I was six months out. My experience does not in any way mean yours will be the same. But it's always good to be informed. You're gonna love the new you!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
