I am a big chilli fan and general spicy curry food eater. In fact I think I put chilli on everything! Anyone else like that. I’m not sure I will be able to do it after the sleeve but wanted to know if other people tolerate chilli well?

Eden30, I am like that too!! I put hot sauce on just about everything. I was sleeved July 28, 2017. I held off using chilli until I got to the normal food stage. I don't remember being told not to have it before then. I just chose to be extra careful. I am having it now almost daily with no problems. I have no reflux issues that some sleevers experience post op. I think that makes a big difference if you have gastric reflux.

I couldn't tolerate tomatoes or spices during the first 2-3 months postop. But now I'm tearing it up! I make a super quick chili.. brown some ground meat (throw some frozen onions and green peppers in it as it's cooking), add a can of Beans and a can of diced tomatoes, put some chili seasoning on it, bam, done! Takes maybe 20 minutes, tops. Of course, slow-simmered, special recipe chili is gonna be better, but it's nice to make a version that's quick.

That sounds great berry. Yes I’m hoping that I can gradually bring it back, I can’t imagine a life without chilli in it! But if I can’t tolerate it then it’s cool. But chilli hope!!! [emoji16]

I am a hot sauce lover. My friends just came over and everyone ordered Mexican. I just had some guacamole, it had a kick to it, I think their were jalapeños in it. My sleeve tolerates it well. I have been eating curry and other milder spices since day one of surgery since my favorite Soup is a acorn squash apple curry purée. I haven’t had any trouble yet. I haven’t tried hot sauce just yet. I think I will hold off until I’m out of stage 3 for that.

      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.
