anything spicey is a big no no for me



Recommended Posts

I have been wondering something for a while now. Any time I go to see my Doctor, I forget to ask so I am going to ask all of you. Maybe someone out here in band land will know the answer. So here goes.

Why is it since I got my band if I attempt to eat anything even slightly spicey it gets stuck and right back up it comes? For instance, I went to McDonalds earlier and got a McRib. I only wanted a couple bites then was going to give it to my hubby. I took 1 SMALL bite and within seconds I was bent over the toliet throwing up that small bite?

What is it with the band that makes it to where we can't handle spicey food anymore? I'm not talking just a McRib, I mean black pepper, onions, even hamburger meat does this to me. But chicken, I can handle with no problem as long as I don't put anything but a little bit of salt on it?

Anyone out there know whats going on?

Gosh I hope spices aren't my problem! I love hot sauces, garlic, and curry! I've been having some pbing problems lately and always it seems to involve food with one of those ingredients. Grrrr! I keep thinking it's something else causing the problems: I love those foods and eat them too fast, or I love those foods and I try to eat too much of them? I'm going to keep trying those foods, but will keep a close watch on the other two variables (speed and volume) to see if I can keep the spices or not. Is it possible that the hot spices cause the stoma to swell slightly from the irritation? I sure hope not.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
