Spicy foods!

[Taylor C 15]

Hey everybody! I LOVED spicy foods before the surgery. I still love the taste, but spicy foods upset my stomach REALLY badly!!! I'm 2 months out of surgery now.

How long after the surgery was it that you were able to comfortably stomach spicy foods? I know some have said they weren't every able to stomach spicy foods again.

I'm at 6 weeks and I love spice as well but I do it in much smaller amounts. I did wasabi and soy sauce at 15 days. I'm back to eating my Arizona Gunslinger Habanero sauce and Chinese chili paste.

Oh dang!!! I guess it'll just take more time for me. I've even tried mildly spicy things but it still bothers my stomach. I made sure to rule out other factors like acidity, high fat, and high sugar so I know it isn't those things.

All of my choices are based on nutrition labels. I look for no sugar, no carb and low salt. I'm not too worried about calories or fat. So far it seems to be working well for me. Your results may vary.

It depends on how spicy and how much. It is just easier to take an antacid before eating and eat what you want. At 9 months, I didn't have to worry about it anymore.

I am addicted to spicy but the results are not good with terrible heartburn. Surgeon says NO!

You can try to figure out what part of the spiciness is bothering you... is there vinegar? Red pepper? Black pepper?

It could just be one of the components your sleeve doesn't like right now.

I still take Omeprazole daily. I love lean ground beef mixed with taco spices. I love anything spicy. Guess I would rather suffer the heart burn, but it doesn't last long.
