Question:
Are fruits difficult for lapband post op?

I don't want to rule out bananas but for the third time I've eaten a banana and peanut butter and have felt terrible about 1 hr. later.    — DarleneA (posted on April 20, 2009)

I am almost 2 years post-op lap band and I tried eating an apple and I am in alot of pain from digestion. Oh, it went down but very painfully! That's the last time I eat an apple!!! Hope this helps!!!!

I haven't tried fruits yet, but during my pre-lap band sessions with the nutritionist she said that fruits with skins (e.g. apples) and fibruous fruits (e.g. oranges) would be difficult to eat post-op. She also said that bananas should not give us trouble, but peanut butter would. Have you tried the bananas without the peanut butter?
