I have a question about food



Recommended Posts

I'm sorry but I have a question. I was reading some forums and I say them talking about SLIDER foods. So here is my silly question....what is SLIDER foods? I'm almost three weeks out and my doctor told me to try new foods one at a time. I just want to make sure I stay AWAY from these SLIDER FOODS! I don't want to over eat or gain back any of my weight I've lost already.

THANKS!

Slider foods are foods that slide right through. Foods that do not stick with us long like dense Protein. At this stage, you're going to be eating sliders such as yogurt, cottage cheese, sf pudding/jello. Those are sliders, but right now depending on your diet those are foods that will go right through here in a few more weeks.

For me, bread, Pasta, rice, most carbs such as chips, pretzels, crackers are all sliders for me on top of the logical ones such as mashed potatoes, yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding/jello/custards. As time progresses, you'll be able to eat larger quantities. That is the reason behind making eating Protein first a habit. When we at dense protein first, there really is little room for sliders.

I believe it's foods that go down easy and you can eat a lot of it...for me its Funyons (so I stay away from them).

So that is why about 5 minutes after I eat or should I say drink certain foods I have to go to the bathroom ASAP?

THANK YOU!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
