I was thinking of getting my fiancee to get me a  yonana for my birthday..so that when I get to my pureed stage (since Im allowed mashed up bananas) I can have a guilt free ice cream...anyone else have one???

Good question!  It'll take other frozen fruits (and veg) as well?  hmmm... I like this idea.

Honestly, at that time you'll really want to be pushing protein. There isn't room for too much else in your pouch so you will be prioritizing the foods and drinks that get your protein numbers up. Fruit, especially carby fruit like banana, was pretty low on my list.

But that said, always check with your dietician on this stuff. Happy birthday!

I have to agree with Roma.  I have a Yonanas.  It uses bananas as a base- and lots of them.   It's a better alternative for dessert for " the average " person,  but not for someone who has had recent surgery.  Maybe somewhere down the road, in a very small quantity.  I am 4 wks out and had a few bites of fruit (watermelon) today for the first time.  I have found I have very little room after protein and fluids, but everyone is different.

I have a yonanas and while I can see how it would be a good idea I find that it really has to take a lot of fruit to make a substantial amount of yogurt (like a whole banana and some other fruit). 

What might be a better option could be to have a little fruit (1/4 banana) and freeze some Greek yogurt and put that through the machine. Mix some protein into your yogurt and it would be a good treat.
