Dumping and fruit

My doctor's plan, says that phase 2 is soft foods, like fish, soft veggies, eggs, cracker (that can become soft in mouth) , soft fruit like banana or melon. Along with the phase 1 foods, of soups ,cottage cheese, applesauce...etc.. So my question is how many of you have dumped on the banana, or have you even tried one yet. I was so exicted to try one today, but now I am scared. I am 11 days post op and I do not want to dump so soon. So any ideas... it is 1.2 a banana that is too much, I was actually only going to add a few slices to my protein drink today, but now I am worried. And I was sooo looking forward to it...

I am fine on bananas, honeydew and canalope but I dump on strawberries and fresh pineapple. HTH! Jamie PS- I miss my fruit!

I've added a few slices of frozen banana to my protein shake and have had no problems with it. Give it a try and let us know how it goes! Mary Ellen
