My husband eats all those things. They don't appeal to me. But not right away! Only when your doc says it's OK! And yep, we dance. When the doc says it's OK!

Yes to all of the above :) Not immediately .. but as you heal and are able to tolerate the spicier foods you will. I have salads all the time. As for dancing it's good exercise and once your doctor feels you're healed sufficiently ... go for it!

I can eat hot peppers and tomatoes. I can't do dark greens like broccolli, asparagus and spinach. You can dance and do absolutely anything else your hear desires. But wait until your doctor says go for it. About four weeks after surgery. I don't think you'll be up dancing much before that.

I eat salads every day almost. They are actually one of the easier foods for me to eat. I have eaten lots of jalapeno's and hot foods with no ill effects. I have gone dancing with no ill-effects. You cannot feel the staples inside there. You feel normal unless you are eating.
