yeah I think about what I'm eating and how it will effect output. Don't go for fish much anymore and spices that I used to not worrying about eating I don't want to eat.

I would never eat a whole banana any more for that exact reason. I try to eat small because I don't need my bag filling up in the middle of teaching a fitness class in clothes that might make it seeable.

Yes definitely eating habits are a lot different. I love salad and now I wond't eat it unless I'll be putting new bag on soon because the leaves stick allover and won't clean out and I don't like that.

Probably getting wacko-oh well

Are you drinking a lot of water? Always important. I haven't had any trouble with bananas, but everybody's different.

Before surgery, I always ate a banana every day as far back as I remember. Then I stopped after surgery, because it made my output so thick that it pancaked and the bag leaked. I figure I'll start eating bananas again when I have a jpouch, that sounds reasonable. Have had blood texts twice since surgery and there are no imbalances or any levels of anything that are below average, so Im ok for now. It is interesitng how long the body will stay healthy in face of not eating very specific things. I used to think that broccoli was very necessary for health, but now Iwouldn't touch the stuff.

Jackie, when my ileo was new I could eat a very ripe banana and in about 30 minutes it would come out the stoma into my bag very thick, but it would pass. Also I made sure to drink LOTS of water as always.

Now four years out, if I ate a banana it would hang around in me until the next day and make me feel backed up. One time this happened and I was on a train in Europe. I had to literally stalk through the train and drink hot tea and grape juice for hours. FINALLY the banana made its appearance all at once and the poop was SOOOOOO thick it literally stood up in the toilet on the train just like a "normal intact" persons poop would be.

For me, NEVER a banana ever again. And that is MY banana story. Rosemary

Once I was three or so months out from surgery, I started eating bananas on a very regular basis....sometimes 3 a day! No problem for me, but I drink a lot with my meals, etc.

There are some things I don't/can't eat because I don't like how they look or smell when they come out or they look too similar before and after...yuck!

If you go too long without eating though, you'll dump a lot of liquid which isn't good for you. Be sure you're eating regularly even if it's small snacks like cheese and crackers or something.
