I'll be a year post-op Feb 26th. Last night by husband and I went to a new restaurant and the dish I ordered was spicy (i didn't know). I only ate 3 bites before I couldn't take anymore and OMG did my stomach KILL. For hours last night my stomach was on fire! To the point I questioned going the the hospital (I just felt too dumb lol)...

Anyone else have such negative effects of spice. I've never been a spice eater anyways, but this was horrific!

Before sleeving I was a spice fanatic. I piled on the cayenne and ate Szechuan peppers, etc.. My first venture with hot and sour Soup resulted in a trip to the bathroom.

My relationship with hot and spicy food has been discontinued. However, my wife thinks I'm hot and spicy. Fair trade. :D

Living in South Louisiana, spicy food is the norm. I'm almost 9 months out and haven't had any issues with spicy foods yet.

Of course, crawfish season is just around the corner and it isn't good unless you have tears running down your cheeks and your sinuses are flowing (TMI, huh?! LOL), so I guess that will be the real test! :D

I lived in Lafayette for a couple years. It is where I acquired a taste for the spicy. Miss that Cajun goodness!

Laissez les bons temps rouler! :D

I love mexican food!! So far, I've handled the spicy stuff pretty well; although, I wasn't ever a REALLY HOT spice eater!

Now, give me that NOLA Poboy and Beignets. Man, oh, man! Luckily, it's only 1/4 poboy now and one beignet!!!

living in Arizona I'm a die hard "I love Mexican food eater" and since being sleeved September 25, it's hard to get my spicy food to sit comfortably and not hurt. :( I'm hoping it gets better with time.

      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.
