Spicy food

[Lizardlady 90]

So, I needed some extra Protein tonight since I was not hungry for Breakfast and decided I would go for one of my packets of Sunkist tuna to fill in the gap. This time it was Thai style though and it is a bit spicy. I didn't think about it until after a few bites and my stomach started to get angry at me. It doesn't hurt, just noisy(er) than usual. So it got me wondering if spicy food is ok for my sleeve? I'm about 4 weeks out if that makes any difference.

I had my first post op appointment this past Thursday and I asked my doctor if I could add hot sauce to my chicken broth and he said yes but not to over due it, to try a lil first and then I can add more as I find out how my new stomach would react...so far so good I haven't have any problems with spicy sauce, I couldn't live with out anything spicy, I love spicy food...

I used spices post opt to liven up my limited menu. My first treat was refried Beans with a little melted cheese. I'd add either Stubbs spicy BBQ Sauce or Green Tabasco. I think spices are a great way to enhance Protein.
