Bananas are good for us post surgery but they do have alot of natural sugar in them so yes, they can cause dumping.

There was a very long post some time ago about the benefits of banana and there are alot of them. There are alot of people that believe that fruit in your diet is a no no.......whole fruit (not fruit juice) has alot of healthy benefit to your diet and ensures balance.

My nutritionist believes in adding whole fruit as part of your diet every day. I personally eat apples, berries, nectarines, cherries, watermelon and yes every once in a while banana.

But yes.....if you get dumping and eat too much of it, banana can trigger it.

I'm 3 years out and I have eaten bananas throughout my weight loss. I have been at my goal weight 2 and 1/2 years. One of my go to's were as follows: A 1/2 of banana flavored Muscle Milk Protein powder a 1/2 scoop of gram cracker Muscle Milk Protein, 1 cup of almond milk (or whatever is your go to) a frozen 1/2 banana blended!! YUMMY This is what I practically lived on. No problems with dumping at all. Now I eat a banana once and awhile still no issues.

      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.
