Not sure what your transition plan looks like, but I was on solids by week 6. I have never had any issues with bananas other than they fill me up quickly. Unlike more fibrous fruits, like oranges, it never caused a stuck episode

I eat them but not often. To me they have lots of sugars and a decent amount of calories and I'm usually still hungry after eating one.

But have never had trouble eating one.

I loved bananas in my Protein Shakes. You can eat whatever you want. That's the beauty of the band. Some folks may find bananas difficult for their band but I'm not one of them.

I have put them in Protein shakes.. they are high in potassium which is good for you.. but they do have a fair amount of sugar which might trigger cravings.. but like someone said.. you can eat what your band will tolerate within reason..

No problem with bananas whatsoever. I eat them about once a week and I eat it for the potassium.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
