Spicy Food?

I'm only a week post-op, but I was curious to know if any of you have trouble eating spicy food?  I love hot sauce and I also love Indian food.  I was wondering if the sleeve affects your ability to eat food that is hot and spicy.

You might want to ask your doctor/surgeon when to introduce spicy foods.  My surgeon told me I could try it whenever and that I can eat my cottage cheese with hot sauce as long as I tolerated it.  I had no issues when I decided to try it at 6-8 weeks out.  I love spicy food too!

I love spicy foods too, but I recommend that you wait awhile until your stomach heals.  It's only been in the last month that I've attempted hot salsa.

Unless you develop acid issues, spicy foods are still on the menu.  I love spicy food, although according to my Indian friends, I am still a wimp in this regard.  :)

No problems here. I eat a lot of my meals spicy with added hot sauce, chili paste, or hot peppers, etc. Early out when I was eating broth or pureed soups I added Cholula hot sauce or garlic Tabasco and had no problems. The PP advice is right on though - ask your doctor or nut when they recommend it.

I was able to sip chicken tortilla soup broth at one week out.  It was decently spicy, and I had no ill effects.

I am 8 weeks out and used to love spicy. Right now I can eat spicy to a degree but not nearly as much as I did. Also, foods that are to spiced with too many seasonings and too much tomato sauce do upset my stomach. I am hoping this is temporary
