Can I do that? I don't understand how natural sugars from fruit are tolerated and will they cause dumping?

Actually, I have added a half of a banana to my shakes (usually I do strawberry). I did have a very mild dump today, but don't think it was caused by the banana as last week didn't have that issue with the banana. I think I drank it too fast. I downed a good 12 oz within 15 minutes way too fast which I think caused this episode.

If your WLS binder says fresh fruit is safe than it's ok to add it. Depends on what stage you are in and what your Nut. and surgeon recommended.

Personally, I doubt it would hurt you in any way, especially in a shake.

I eat a lot of fresh and frozen fruits. I have not had any problems. It feels me up and gives me some "sweetness" I sometimes crave. Start slow everyone is different.

My nut says not to blend any fruit into your protein shakes. She said that you need to eat them separately, because its too many calories at once. I don't think its a bad idea to do every once in a while, but not too often.

I added fruit all the time.

If it's okay with your doc then go for it. Watch bananas though. Pretty high sugar content, I dump off them if I'm not careful.

I added them and PB2. I don't dump though.
