courtoomp 107 Posted February 11, 2013 Hi all I was sleeves 1/23/13 and am in puréed stage. I find the only way I can get in all my Protein is to mix my Protein Shake with a banana to balance it out and add some 'real food' taste. I realize this is a good bit of carbs added, esp when I have two shakes in a day. Is this too many carbs? My nut gave me no carb recommendations so asking y'all. I 'eat' about 600 calories a day and average 30g sugar. Thoughts? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinky Green 260 Posted February 11, 2013 My doctor told me that as long as we not putting sugar or fat in it, we really shouldn't be able to consume enough carbs to worry about it. He also said that mashed potatoes and chicken noodle Soup are ok when you go to soft foods because again, you won't be able to consume enough to really worry about it.

TheGamer 406 Posted February 11, 2013 My carb restrictions are no more than 100g a day. A whole banana might be a bit much, but even on pre-op I was allowed to add about 1/4 c of banana to my shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickly 45 Posted February 11, 2013 I would say if your counting your carbs then just add it to your count!! Banana's are higher in carbs but do still have lots of good benefits in them too. Enjoy (love banana's too!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
