Anyone else have this machine? You just insert a frozen banana and it comes out like soft serve. Would this be considered a purée?

I just ordered mine yesterday. I should have it in a few days. You can do more then frozen bananas with it. There are a few people here that have one. If you search yonanas on here you will find a lot of info. Good, bad, and indifferent. Reading what others said helped me make my decision to buy. I'm on soft foods, so I figured it would work for that. When I hit 6 weeks I'm going to try adding berries and citrus.

Did you know that a banana is basically a big sugar stick? I am 10 months post-op and still only eat 1/4 to a 1/2 banana once in a while (less than once per week). Though it has potassium, which is good for you, I just can't justify the sugars.

A medium banana has 30 g of sugar (essentially all the calories come from the sugar - about 120 calories!). That's about 1/2 of my day's worth of carbs (and I exercise alot!). Until I was 6 months post-op, I was limiting my carbs to less than 40 g per day. One banana would have been 75% of my carbs for the day!

As I stated above you can use things OTHER then bananas. Like oh I don't know, fat free greek yogurt with Protein powder. My surgeon sets our carbs at <15 a meal. 5 meals a day and OH NO!! Im over 40. Carbs are needed for energy production. Having 2-3oz of something natural is way better then eating processed fake sugar laced with preservatives that is pure chemicals.

Everything in moderation. An occasional banana is not what caused us to need surgery.

FYI you have to put frozen fruit in the yonanas, you can't put in yogurt or Protein Powder.< /p>

You can use berries or melons but I think anything mixed with bananas is the best

Product reviews state yogurt can be used as long as it is frozen solid, much like the fruit.

      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.
