Bananas are good for us post surgery but they do have alot of natural sugar in them so yes, they can cause dumping.

There was a very long post some time ago about the benefits of banana and there are alot of them. There are alot of people that believe that fruit in your diet is a no no.......whole fruit (not fruit juice) has alot of healthy benefit to your diet and ensures balance.

My nutritionist believes in adding whole fruit as part of your diet every day. I personally eat apples, berries, nectarines, cherries, watermelon and yes every once in a while banana.

But yes.....if you get dumping and eat too much of it, banana can trigger it.

I'm 3 years out and I have eaten bananas throughout my weight loss. I have been at my goal weight 2 and 1/2 years. One of my go to's were as follows: A 1/2 of banana flavored Muscle Milk Protein powder a 1/2 scoop of gram cracker Muscle Milk Protein, 1 cup of almond milk (or whatever is your go to) a frozen 1/2 banana blended!! YUMMY This is what I practically lived on. No problems with dumping at all. Now I eat a banana once and awhile still no issues.

      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! 😞
