I am now 10 1/2 months post HOLEP. I thought I had the incontinence completely under control, but I do not. I am finding out that any type of hot spice's and caffeine cause major uncontrollable leaks. I drank 3 cups of coffee a couple of weeks ago and paid for it for 2 days. I ate blackened Mahi mahi yesterday for dinner and have been paying for it all day today. For the past 2 months I have been wearing only one liner a day. No stress incontinence whatsoever. Now I must ensure I don’t consume caffeine, alcohol, or hot spices that can affect my bladder. I will gladly eat bland food with only salt and no alcohol or caffeine to get back to only 1 liner per day. It has been hard for me to nail down what foods, spices, and drinks cause me to leak. I must be more careful in my selection of food and drink. I was told to avoid these things on my post op instructions, but figured 10 months out I could start eating what I liked again. I was wrong!
