Protein drinks and bananas

[losingit828 0]

Had a Protein Shake with PB2 and a bit of cocoa powder.. only added bananas and truvia. Are the frozen bananas.. or just bananas in general, enough to cause dumping?

I truly believe that bananas are not good for us after surgery . I was eating 2 bananas a day for 2 months.I gained so much weight no dumping,but I felt so full I thought I was eating healthy.I stop eating sense October I lost 10 pounds

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.
