bananas at what stage?

Does anyone know how early you can eat 1/2 of a banana? Please and thank you! J

I only eat bananas after I finish a race. Otherwise, fruit won't help me reach my goal so why spend the stomach space on it?

Gwen,

I asked because for a serious medical reason I cannot go on a low carb diet. I can only do a moderate one. I understand about the quickest weightloss but I can't ... so hence why I asked how soon can you have a banana or berries. Congrats on your weightloss.

Sounds like a question that would be best answered by your medical team, then!

Yeah I know.....I kind of knew you all didn't eat fruits...and I am not thrilled about my situation.. but I guess it is what it is.. you all are doing so fabulously!!!

They are kind of pointless for the WL mission, so when you hit maintenance? The only fruit I ate during weightloss was very small portions of berries. There's a stupid number of carbs in a banana.

Technically, I would think mashed up well you could have it in the soft foods phase.

And since you mentioned berries, those I would stay away from until your doctor says it's okay (mine said once I was on regular foods) as they have seeds that can get stuck in your healing staple line and can create an abscess.

Thank you for your replies... and yes that is my fear --- no nuts or seed or rice or corn ....for 6 months.

It takes 3 months to heal but I would be cautious- definitely.. and low carb well ... I cannot do low low but I won't do high either ... I will work out a plan with my NUT that is good for me --- which I think is great advice for everyone.

Congrats Cecily you are doing great!

You might seek out theAntiChick. She can't eat low carb either and is doing really well!
