Anyone else have this machine? You just insert a frozen banana and it comes out like soft serve. Would this be considered a purée?

I just ordered mine yesterday. I should have it in a few days. You can do more then frozen bananas with it. There are a few people here that have one. If you search yonanas on here you will find a lot of info. Good, bad, and indifferent. Reading what others said helped me make my decision to buy. I'm on soft foods, so I figured it would work for that. When I hit 6 weeks I'm going to try adding berries and citrus.

Did you know that a banana is basically a big sugar stick? I am 10 months post-op and still only eat 1/4 to a 1/2 banana once in a while (less than once per week). Though it has potassium, which is good for you, I just can't justify the sugars.

A medium banana has 30 g of sugar (essentially all the calories come from the sugar - about 120 calories!). That's about 1/2 of my day's worth of carbs (and I exercise alot!). Until I was 6 months post-op, I was limiting my carbs to less than 40 g per day. One banana would have been 75% of my carbs for the day!

As I stated above you can use things OTHER then bananas. Like oh I don't know, fat free greek yogurt with Protein powder. My surgeon sets our carbs at <15 a meal. 5 meals a day and OH NO!! Im over 40. Carbs are needed for energy production. Having 2-3oz of something natural is way better then eating processed fake sugar laced with preservatives that is pure chemicals.

Everything in moderation. An occasional banana is not what caused us to need surgery.

FYI you have to put frozen fruit in the yonanas, you can't put in yogurt or Protein Powder.< /p>

You can use berries or melons but I think anything mixed with bananas is the best

Product reviews state yogurt can be used as long as it is frozen solid, much like the fruit.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
