Ever since surgery I've been craving spicy food. My doctor said I can eat it and if my new stomach doesn't like it then I'll know right away. I'm 4 weeks post op with chili & buffalo flavored foods calling my name. Anyone able to eat spice with no issues? TIA

I'm only 6 days out and still on liquid but my current favorite Soup (strained of course) is an organic chicken tortilla southwest style Soup. Definitely has a kick but my doc said the same-as long as I'm tolerant of it, shouldn't be an issue. I would say minimal at first, small bites, and take your time savoring :) you know your pouch best!

I eat spicy foods (really really spicy hehe). I like sour and spicy stuff, and don't care for anything sweet. I have no issue with it at all. My surgeon said that's fine as long as I can tolerate it too, so whew. :D I do take famotidine 20mg twice a day as per my surgeon.

I could not WAIT until I had a teaspoon of refried Beans with a dash of salsa or taco sauce! I am a Mexican food junkie! Three years later, maybe four chips and Queso and Salsa, I stop'. I think I could go on for weeks!!!!! But my health is more important, and I refuse to go there.

I tried hot and sour Soup Friday and it burned a little in my chest. I'm going to try again in another couple weeks! My heartburn is really bad though. I hope once that subsides I will tolerate a bit more spicy:-)

Ever since my surgery I have just wanted to swim in a giant bowl of Siracha sauce.

      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.
