Bananas
Has any one tried a little mashed banana in the full fluid stage? I've been having some apple sauce just wondering about the banana

I would be very careful. Bananas are high in natural sugars and there is a chance you may dump. Your pouch is still healing and you do not want to experience dumping so early post-op.

I waited until I was a few months out before I tackled bananas and even then it was just a few pieces. I've eaten as much as 1/2 a banana now but I would be very careful for fear of dumping early on.

All centres are different, but mine does not allow banana until the soft foods phase.
