Make sure that your bananas are ripe, with brown spots and no green on them. They should be very sweet with no starchy taste. I've noticed that I'm able to eat a lot more when the fruit is ripe as opposed to unripe. Also, it will take some time for your stomach to stretch out to accommodate the much larger volume of food necessary to get in enough calories. It'll get easier, and you'll be pounding them down like a champ in no time!

Great start! Definitely aim at getting in more fruity calories, as you know. I would try having a smoothie for brekfast, as it will allow you to get in more calories without the bulk of just eating bananas. Also, try some dates, as they're higher in calories but not nearly as filling. I love eating banana ice cream with chopped dates for easy calories. Green puddings are also a great way to get in more while getting minerals.
Good luck :)
