spicy food post bypass

[rosejohnson]

Pre op I cooked and ate a lot of spicy food, and I was wondering whether i can still eat this post bypass?

Or even not very spicy currys and chillis etc?

My daughter has asked for lentil curry for tea tonight. I am still on puree food but I was wondering if i can puree the curry or would that make me poorly?

It's all homemade and the only fat I add is a drizzle of olive oil at the start to soften the onions....

Thanks in advance

Ive read that a few people have started to enjoy spicy food more post op Rosie. I guess as we are eating so little its nice if its as tasty as possible.

If you are on puree, then I dont see why you wouldnt be OK with curry. The lentils will be great for your protein intake and as long as its not full of fat or sugar you should be fine.

I must admit I was wary but during the weekend I worked nights and we had the manager on who loves to cook. But he cooks healthily, no fat or salt etc.

One night we had king prawn curry. I didn't have any rice or nan breads and the other night we had chilli, again, no rice etc.

I obviously couldn't eat much but I had no side effects what-so-ever.

I am 12 weeks post op

Not bypass I had a sleeve

I pureed chicken fajita's (without the tortila) it was just chicken, peppers, onion & mexican seasoning. It was lovely and didn't have any bad side affects. I also had chicken creole exactly the same ingrediants with creole sauce, I am 7 wks post op bypass

Should think it would be ok unless your tastebuds are like mine and have gone bonkers post op! Give it a go and see what happens!

 

[rosejohnson]

My tastebuds are bored and desperate for something that isn't veg soup or porridge!!

I have no probs with curry at all

 

[gaelic girl]

Yes my taste buds have gone bonkers too but like you Rose they are screaming for something tasty will try a curry me thinks x

Yeah hun - I ate curry and chilli as soon as I was on solids - not a lot obviously, but its fine to have xx

I think most people seem ok with spicey foods post op, I personally can't eat it any more which is a shame as I love a chilli or a good curry.
I can't eat onions or anything pickled either :-(

I'm sure I once read a thread on here saying that spicy foods help with the weight loss?
