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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
