I'm Cajun and used to be able to eat food so spicy that other Cajuns couldn't tolerate it. Since the band, I can't tolerate it at all anymore! I was sad at first, but then came to appreciate other flavors.

I also never had heartburn a day in my life. A little word to the wise, get some generic "acid reducer." I got mine at Dollar General and now, if I wake up with heartburn, I just pop one and it's done.

I can eat food that is HOT HOT HOT!! Maybe it will come with time?

Yes, ma'am. The acid reflux thing didn't start right away for me.

I live in New Mexico and spicy is the norm here. I took it very cautious at first, only trying little bits but never had a problem. I was surprised because I had heartburn often before my band but haven't had it at all since. I am sure its different for everyone though.

Its fickle but at times I have discomfort with spicy foods - they just give me heartburn. Wine burns too, I need to line my stomach with something to eat before I have a glass of wine.

it must be the increased contact with the upper part of your stomach and esophagus (as the food sits there for a while) that is the cause.

Oh man I would die, I was even putting Tapatio in my broth 2 days after surgery, haha.

Totally the opposite for me, I have started enjoying spicier foods more after surgery! I think it is because my bites are so small that there is not much flavor in each bite so I like foods with more potent flavor. Before surgery I would take like 1/4cup bites and now I take pencil eraser size bites.

I am with you, before I would just tolerate spicy and now I crave it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
