Don't do smoothies if you want your stomach to expand and be able to hold more food. Liquid food = lax stomach.
There's really no secret, you have to continue eating despite being full. Start with ten bananas, perhaps.  I started with fifteen, I think. First time I ate "over the limit". Was it hard? Yes. Did I make it? You bet I did.

Well, I was certainly able to expand my stomach with mostly smoothies in the beginning - I don't see why smoothies should make that more difficult. I would actually recommend newbies eating smoothies in order to get enough calories. As Lustu Cru said, it's often way easier to eat 10 bananas as a smoothie, at least in the beginning.

That being said, I agree that, longterm, eating the fruits whole seems to be the optimal choice.

That's the first time I've read a claim that banana smoothies will result in a "lax stomach".

Any info to back up this unusual claim?

The liquidised bananas will digest faster and unless you drink them all in one gulp will start exiting the gut fairly quickly. So you never really fill out the gut as effectively as the whole bananas. So it is just a liquid vs solid issue. Having said that it is mostly about getting the food in and in the beginning just get the food in however people feel best and progress to "best practice" later.

So my stomach will be able to take 30 bananas eventually then, ok.

And it's like 210 bananas a week.. I'm gonna empty out the stores in this city.. for real.

I'm gonna have to go into the store every day then and buy bananas. Gonna be pretty awkwaaaaard!

It's normal to just buy like one bunch of bananas 6-7 bananas!

Yeah- "Do you have a gorilla at home?" or, more commonly," You must be making banana bread". People get used to you coming in and buying a ton of bananas after a while. Also, a case is only about 30 here in Tennessee and that'll last a week or so. If you want your bananas to last, however, don't get your significant other who eats standard SAD diet, sprung on green smoothies. Doubles the banana bill. :)

Just buy them by the box. I pick up 2 or 3 boxes a week (2 separate days, so they wont all be ripe at the same time) at my local store and carry them home. I used to be slightly embarrassed about buying so much fruit, but now I just think it's funny.

Do you buy it from any o the known stores in Norway or from some other place? I would love to buy it by the box!

Rema 1000 is where I get them. They have pretty cheap organic bananas. They are actually cheaper than the regular ones for some strange reason.
