Banana "Bread" Smoothie



Recommended Posts

Even pre-op and most of my life for the last 2 years (thanks to paleo low carb eating) I avoid bananas like the plague but I think in small increments they're nutritionally dense and easy on the tummy. I know people love them so I figured this would be a great recipe to share. This felt awesome on my Day 13 post op tummy.

:980_small_blue_diamond:1/2 banana

:980_small_blue_diamond:1/2 C. vanilla GREEK YOGURT (I used 2 Good)

:980_small_blue_diamond:A dash of nutmeg

:980_small_blue_diamond:A dash of cinnamon

:980_small_blue_diamond:1/3 C. Fair Life Fat Free Milk

:980_small_blue_diamond:1/3 C. Filtered Water

:980_small_blue_diamond: 1 Scoop whey Protein (I use MyProgressMD - in Vanilla recommended by my surgery program)

21g carb (normally I'd consider this high but while I am recovering I'm good with it) I aim for under 50g per day

4g fat

41g protein 🎉

2g fiber

11g sugar

87mg sodium

Blend until everything is smooth! I am ending my full liquids soon but was getting really tired of chocolate. I think PB2 would probably also taste great in this recipe but I didn't feel like Peanut Butter today. You could also add cocoa, etc or any other flavors you like!

Some bariatric surgeons recommend banana smoothies and "Nice-cream", soft serve "ice-cream" made with frozen bananas and berries or cocoa. (It's delicious.)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
