Has anyone else discovered that they have no sliders?

I haven't been looking for mine, and I'm glad to know I don't have any, but with everyone talking about sliders all the time I just assumed they were normal. I've tried popcorn and can only eat 2-3 handfuls before I'm full, cheetos never appealed to me pre-op let alone post-op but I assume they'd have a similar effect, I've had baked Lays and about 5-10 chips and I'm done.. Again, I'm glad that I don't appear to have any at 5mos out, I just find it odd that it seems to be so common. I guess I'm just the odd ball out?

None so far. My NUT suggested that twice a week I try eating about 100 empty calories (a bit of a desperation move). So I tried some cheese curls and was full on about 6 of them. I've tried chips, too - the baked Lay's that look like Pringles. I can eat about 6 of those as well. I've not tried popcorn, not a big popcorn fan. If I have a slider, it's fresh strawberries. I still can't eat very many, but volume-wise I can eat those the most. Then again, they essentially crush down to Water.< /p>

May I suggest not trying to find them ... :)

I have found mine (I'm not going to tell you what they are) and I wish I didn't!

^ Really good point!

One of the things I regretted with my lapband was that I had ever tried white carbs. For months & months I was afraid of them, and for months & months I lost weight like no one's business. Let' just say that once I tried them & discovered they didn't make me sick (like I had thought they would), it became a lot easier to eat them. I had to go through a fairly rigorous "back to basics" track to get away from them again, and it was not easy.

You can't un-go there. :)

Oh I'm not trying, trust me. I was just asking if anyone else had noticed they didn't have any ;-)

I didn't have any until I found them! ;)

And then, like Wheetsin says, you can't un-go there ...

I so agree with PDX man. Don't go there. I have found mine and an extra 8 to 9 pounds from my lowest. Still well below goal weight but it is scary.

WARNING - don't go looking for trouble for you will surely find it.

Again, I'm not, I was merely sharing an observation.

I have not had any. I can only eat 2 to 3 pieces of popcorn and baked lays ably 3 chips. I guess if I had to claim one it would be watermelon. I can eat about a cup, but then I am truly full. Oh, and I can eat two french fries. That is it and I never want any more. I have only had them twice when I was so hungry and had nothing else around. Got a meal for my daughter, had two fries to word off the hungry feeling. I then went home and ate a healthy meal.

I won't touch junk food at all- that includes soda and fast food- starchy foods- pasta- rice- I am on a track for a better life- and JUNK has no part in it :-)!

I dont ever want to discover my "sliders" or anything that doesn't belong in my lifestyle.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
