I am just wondering if 3 strawberries and half of a bananna with skim milk and 2 scoops of protein will make me dump.. I am scared to dump  so I have been so nervous on what I eat. But I wanted something new with my shake and it tastes so much better.  Is it bad for me to put strawberries and bananna's in it??? Thanks

 It's taken more high sugar/carb foods to dump and berries seem to treat me fine. What about trying either the strawberries OR banana at one time - that way if you dump, you know which one to rule out?

I can't speak from experience, but I have seen lots of people's recipes on here that include strawberries or bananas. Have you tried adding some plain greek yogurt? After band surgery I did that and it made it nice and creamy.

I have strawberries and bananas just about every day, and I have never dumped. However, I have them in smal quantities - half a banana and maybe one strawberry. Three may be a bit much.

Berries are pretty low glycemic index wise, the banana is questionable only because it is higher on the GI scale. I would eat a bit first and see how it treats ya' then you won't waste expensive protein powder!

I use starwberries and a 1/2 of banana in my protien shake on a regular basis and have no issues with dumping.   The combination makes a great shake and I enjoy them.
