Spicy foods?

[ruthpets 80]

I am hoping - fingers crossed - to get banded in July. Very excited at the prospect of having the lap band - but - I am originally from New Orleans and LOVE spicy foods. Have you all had to give them up completely? Has anyone been able to tolerate "heat"? Thanks in advance for your responses!

I live in S. Texas. Of course you don't have to give up spicy foods!

I was banded 3/26/09.....I have not found anything yet that hasn't agreed with me (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing).

I was banded 1/14/09 and also haven't found anything that disagrees with me

Love spicy food!

As a longer term bandster, I'll tell you that I LOVE hot foods... and I am loving them even more post-banding. No issues here...

I agree, I love spicy food all the time and hotter than pre-band. They also fixed my hiatal hernia during surgery, so I think that may have something to do with it as well.

Spicy food are my fav! The spicier, the better! Spices are one thing you will never have to give up!

Before the band spicy foods would give me bad heartburn. Now I can eat them and enjoy.

I eat spicy foods almost daily, I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! No issues what so ever! Went to a Crawfish Festival a couple of weeks ago, was sucking wind because it was so spicy :thumbup:!!

Have to agree -- spicy works just fine! I still use hot sauce, peppers and such pretty liberally!

WOW! MAN!! Am I the only one that when I eat something spicy I get sick? I can't even eat a taco without it bothering me now. I guess I have to be the black sheep of the banding family huh? OH WELL, I am still loving loving loving my band!!

i was recently banded on may 26th and have added hot sauce to my food everyday. I'm from texas, so mexican food is a must. haven't had any problems so far.

I have no trouble with any spicy food. I use salsa and hot sauce in my eggs, I add chili oil and peppers to my chinese food, I eat blackened catfish.

I love cajun food.
