Joy@boman 151 Posted November 3, 2016 Is there limitations on spicy food? Had some curry today since doc pit me on mashable foods. Loved having some spice back but wondered if my stomach can handle it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammer_Down 631 Posted November 3, 2016 No one said anything to me about eating spicy food and there was nothing in the pre and post op diet information I received. Spicy food has never bothered me, so i didn't think to ask. Post op day 4, I went to the grocery store across the street from the hotel in Tijuana and bought some spicy ramen cups and strained the broth off because I found the broth at the hotel to be unappealingly bland. It didn't cause any issues (that I'm aware of, day 8 now). I've never had chronic heartburn, diarreah or hiccups or anything from spicy food, so I thought nothing of it. In July, I was in South Korea, Japan and China and they prepare VERY spicy food and I couldn't get enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PorkChopExpress 822 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) One of those things you just kinda have to try and see, I think. I haven't had any issues with the spicier things I've tried so far, so I'm gradually ramping up the spiciness just to see how it goes. I may try some Indian curry and find out, before too long.

Vinasu 621 Posted November 3, 2016 I can actually handle much, much spicier foods now. I crave it. I've been eating a ton of Korean and Thai foods. I think I eat so little, and I miss flavor, so I crank it up to 10 when I can.

Butterflywarrior 241 Posted November 3, 2016 So funny seeing this thread because my mom and I were arguing about this today lol. I wanted Thai spicy tuna fish pouches and I'm on purees phase and she keeps suggesting that spice is bad for my healing cut on stomach. I told her, I asked on here at one time and people basically agreed that it was fine unless you couldn't handle it any longer. I tried the tuna without issue. Now my weight center always puts patients on protonix for a month so I don't know if that's keeping me from feeling any adverse effect from the heat!!?? Anyways, I love spice. Love thai food, siracha and pickled jalapenos plus I make a pretty good salsa with Serrano chilies!! FYI- hot peppers are good good for your metabolism too,!! 1 HalimahB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 3, 2016 I started with putting Sriracha in broth as soon as I got home from the hospital, and kept going, adding spices, hot sauce, etc. to anything I think will benefit from it. Spicy has never bothered me in the slightest either before or after surgery. 1 HalimahB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joy@boman 151 Posted November 4, 2016 I have a lot of nausea after spicy foods. I love them but def do not set well with my sleeve so far. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 1 HalimahB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rolosmom7 740 Posted November 4, 2016 Sometimes yes ... sometimes no. I had a squid salad yesterday I had to pick the tiny red peppers out of. Whew, they burned. But I can do buffalo sauce/flavors no issue. Doesn't always feel the best on the way out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
