Spicy Food
I love spicy food. The other day I eat at a Mexican restaurant and I got street tacos with jalapeno sauce. I don't know what I was thinking but I poured all the sauce on the chicken and it was HOT! I don't usually eat stuff that is that hot but it was good. I've never had a problem with hot foods and I like my food to have a lot of flavor so I add hot sauce to a lot of things like eggs.

I do great with it. i love spicy food. I used taco sauce on refried beans about one week post op. I don't know what your doc's plan says about spicy food, though.

I have a very limited ability to handle spice--this was pre-op as well. But my husband LOVES spicy foods and now that his GERD is under control, he can enjoy spicy food when he is in the mood for it. He waited 45 days post-op, IIRC, to try anything spicy. But no issues at all.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
I only hope that I can have spicy stuff after I heal from surgery. We have a BBQ place here called Fat Buddies BBQ, and they have a firehouse sauce that I love on the ribs. I'm sweating on a cold day when I leave that place and my mouth burns for an hour afterwards but boy am I happy. Before I start the two week liquid diet that is where I am going.
