Banana's Are Slider Food For Me

[Wanda247 908]

I've been hearing a lot of talk about slider foods since I joined this site, although posters have explained it I still really didn't fully comprehend it until I had a banana for a snack today. OMG who would have thought! I am 4 weeks post-op and can only eat about 2 oz of food at each meal, sometimes a little less so I was so surprised when I was down to the last bite of my banana and was thinking I pretty much ate the entire thing.

I'm actually glad that I experienced it for myself, now I know to be watchful of slider foods and Portion Control.

I'm loving my sleeve...

Thanks guys for making me aware

Hey friend! Glad you are doing well

All fruits are sliders for me. I don't know if it will be the same for you, but just wanted to give you a heads up!

I get really full from strawberries. Only takes 3 or 4 until I’m ‘done’.... random! Haven’t tried banana yet (6 week’s post op) because I’m told it can worsen Constipation. I don’t need anymore of that in my life!!!

I love fruits and I can pretty much eat most of them now

Ugh. Banana's aren't a slider for me. I'm 9 months out and recently had one half of a large banana and was in so much pain. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have eaten since surgery. Granted I'm thinking I musta woofed it down. But definitely not a slider in my book.

I wonder if you could do a banana in a greek yogurt and Protein smoothie? Maybe the texture of a raw banana is too heavy by itself. Worth a shot if you want the added potassium and like the flavor. I know I did a half of a banana in my protein smoothie with some almonds for the longest time.

I choked earlier in the week on Greek yogurt, but each,day that Precious is older, maybe she will calm down, maybe with the liquidfication it will go well. Never had trouble with blueberry yogurt Muscle Milk, it is sure worth an aytempt!👍😪👍
