Hello fellow bandsters! I am six weeks post op and wanted to know if I can eat a banana?

Not sure what your transition plan looks like, but I was on solids by week 6. I have never had any issues with bananas other than they fill me up quickly. Unlike more fibrous fruits, like oranges, it never caused a stuck episode

With or without the peel?

I eat them but not often. To me they have lots of sugars and a decent amount of calories and I'm usually still hungry after eating one.

But have never had trouble eating one.

Hazel....I'm on solids, but I was thinking of eating a banana in the morning.

I loved bananas in my protein shakes. You can eat whatever you want. That's the beauty of the band. Some folks may find bananas difficult for their band but I'm not one of them.

Revolting things, I wouldn't.

I have put them in protein shakes.. they are high in potassium which is good for you.. but they do have a fair amount of sugar which might trigger cravings.. but like someone said.. you can eat what your band will tolerate within reason..

With or without the peel?

not a nanna person

ole man likes them so i make him nana pudding

and fried some in pan for him

and he takes them things to work for snacks

I have a hard time with them unless they are blended in something.

Thanks everyone....

No problem with bananas whatsoever. I eat them about once a week and I eat it for the potassium.

I am 2 weeks post op and had a half of banana yesterday and today... I am on the soft food stage... It tasted wonderful! No problems what so ever...
