am I hurting my sleeve with spicy food and peppers?

Since my VSG, I crave spicy food more than I ever have. I find ways to add tapatio, sriracha, peppers, and jalapeños to at least a meal a day. Just the other day, I had a small sandwich with my Jalapeño pepper meal.

I didnt think I'd be brave enough, since I can't drink with meals and I would usually need water to help put out the fire but it matters not - I gotta have the burn. Am I hurting my sleeve? My NUT oks tapatio and salsas, but frequently?
After all, it is a small pouch now...

Please chime in!

My nut said the concern with spicy food was that it can cause hearburn. Extra acid is not good for our healing tummies.

I was pouring hot sauce in my broth and still eat hot foods. I'm fine. I wouldn't worry about it if it's not hurting

I eat less spicy food now that I used to mainly because of the inability to drink with meals.  Spicy stuff makes me want to drink drink drink water and I can't, so alas, my fate is less spice than ever.  Bummer.  

what kinda jalapeno meals if you dont mind me asking?

i love hot stuff

I was really exaggerating here. I made a quarter of a sandwich but had about 3 full size pickled jalapeño peppers. Just can't have a sandwich without them lol

I crave spicy too!  I am 7 weeks out and I don't tolerate them very well.  I am actually eating red beans and rice with turkey sausage right now and it's the first spicy thing I have really tolerated.  I have been craving good spicy SOMETHING!  I usually only get about 2 or 3 good bites and then the heat makes me nauseous.  I have been eating 4 or 5 wasabi soy almonds to kind of get a little burn, but 4 or 5 at a time is really all I can do.  I am also on a PPI so I don't know if that makes a difference.  I am just glad to know i'm not the only one who has craved spicy!

I don't like to give examples because every person is different.....buuuuttttt.....I eat the crap out of every kind of insanely hot pepper and variety of tabasco sauce....all but drink that stuff....and no problems here....at one point I feared I was getting an ulcer...I backed off a week before going right back at it and no problems since....no real heartburn to speak of.....no side effects....but I do require much more 'taste' in general for some reason....

I love to mix jalapeños with tuna fi****'s a fav.

I love everything spicy!! Still eat it and no problems!!!!
Love it.. It can be a little hard withou****er , but I can do it. I won't give up my spicy!!!!
