Can I add like a banana to my protein shake 5 days post op? Or maybe some berries? I’m in full thick liquids

I started eating both fairly early out, but I don't think we were supposed to have skins or seeds for the first month or so - so that precluded berries. I'd check with your clinic and see what they say. It's been a few years since I had surgery (although I do remember we had to wait on berries for awhile)

I was told no skins or seeds for a while too. Hard for your healing tummy to digest. Banana should be fine but check first. Make sure you blend & strain your smoothie before drinking to ensure there are no fibrous or lumpy bits.
