My doc also recommended blending a banana in with Protein Shake. I say go for it.

Amen! At this point i will eat anything that will not eat me first. I know that banana's have a high sugar content but they are the only thing keeping me alive right now. I am only allowed 800 calories a day so by the time i drink 3 Protein drinks and a banana I am at my limit. I use the Premier High Protein Drinks and I buy them at Sam's, 12 for $16.99 and they have 30 grams of Protein. I started out with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and made them myself but having to be at work early in the morning and staying late at night it is easier to by them already made up. They actually taste good as well.

In the blenderized phase I was told I could put half a banana in my shake. Seems like the answers here are all over the chart. I'd stick to your drs. Response though. I know we are all diff.

I agree, we are all different and what works for one may not work for someone else.

If it grows from the ground or has a face, eat it. Isn't that what Jilian Michaels says all the time? Bananas are healthy good carbs. If you are eating processed/packaged foods as your carbs then you should probably worry a lot more.

It seems just about all of us are getting different advise from our nutritionists. My niece is a nutritionist and she is obsessed with what she believes to be the correct way to eat and she trys to argue with me over the advise I've been given. I kind of imagine most of them are stuck in their way of thinking/training too.

What I've learned in the past 5 mths?.....I firmly believe in making smart choices for myself and what makes me feel good. I listen to my nutritionist...and fit the info in and see how it goes for me. But I decide. I feel great when I eat Protein, veggies and fruit and I feel crappy when I eat processed, packaged foods. So....a banana, for me, is a wise choice....and I eat a whole small one as a snack : )

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
