Bananas In Protein Shake?



Recommended Posts

Probably a dumb question but I have to force myself to drink them:/

How far out from surgery are you?

The real answer lies with your surgeon and what he/she does or does not allow during the stages of your diet. Some doctors allow bananas earlier than others. Mine absolutely did not allow them for the first 3-4 months due to their high sugar content. The basic premise behind the first months after surgery is to be high-lean-protein and low-non-refined carbs. Granted, banana is not as bad as white sugar, but for a fruit -- it's one of the highest next to pineapple in sugar.

What kind of Protein Drink are you using? Have you tried different kinds and brands to see what you like more than others?

Get some banana-flavored Protein Powder to mix with your other Protein drink flavors:http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2549705

I mix the more expensive version of that Protein with chocolate protein. It improves the taste, increases the variety anyway.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
