rebcal 32 Posted June 11, 2016 Hi guys! One of my favorite things ever is hot sauce I don't know if I'm allowed to have it yet I'm about 3 months post op. Just wondering what everyone's experience with spicy food was especially hot sauce! And when you started having it? Thanks!

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted June 11, 2016 I don't think I had any restrictions on hot sauce. At 3 months out I think you would be safe in trying a little to see how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Megall9 268 Posted June 12, 2016 I didn't have any restrictions with hot sauce, and started putting some on my cottage cheese about 2 weeks post op. Along with salt and pepper, yum! I never had an issue with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freckles70 25 Posted June 12, 2016 I added hot sauce to my refried Beans at two weeks post op. No problems. I was not given any restriction on it. My NUT just told me to go easy at first to see if I had reflux or heartburn issues or any other problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted June 12, 2016 I think I was somewhere around the 9 week mark. I began grilling again had some wings on the grill. I used a good hearty rub on them and sauced them three different ways for everyone. One of them was a no carb buffalo style sauce. After I had two of those and the sauce didn't cause any issues..............it was game on from that point forward. FTR, my favorite Breakfast is a fried egg over easy with Tobasco sauce and ground pepper all over it. Yeah, buddy. Good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4MRB4PHOTO 3,900 Posted June 12, 2016 I started using hot sauces at about two weeks post surgery. Follow your post op plan and introduce them slowly to see how you respond to them. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
