Nine weeks out and I still cannot eat. I may can eat one day and then it will be several days before I can eat again. One thing I have discovered is that I cannot eat anything with spice???? I have always loved spicey food, but just plain black pepper just sets my stomach on fire?? I made squash casserole and baked boneless chicken thighs yesterday.....all I could taste was black pepper....just one bite and that was all I could handle. I have been on a long stall......was told I was not drinking enough water and not eating enough. I cannot drink anything at least 30 minutes before I eat and at least 30-45 minutes after I eat. So it is either eat or drink? Been trying real hard to get my water and protein in, but I just cannot eat??? NUT said I should be eating at least a half cup by now.....but that is not happening ... the only thing I can handle is soup??? Any suggestions???

It sounds like the band is too tight. I also cannot eat anything spicy or I get kind of an acid stomach. I am starting over with the original eating plan given to me by my surgeon and it doesn't have anything spicy on any of the sample menus. I agree that water really helps with losing the weight and feeling full and I know I have not been drinking enough water for the last year so I have also stalled in my weight loss. Although I have not gained weight back from my surgery two years ago, I want to lose a lot more so I am going to be more honest with my eating and water drinking so I can, hopefully, get to the goal I set two years ago. I do miss spicy foods, but I would rather go without and watch my weight drop like so many very successful banders have done.
