Hey guys I was just sleeved on Friday and im doing well.... Just sore... But anyways I've Hurd a ton of people talking about slider foods ... Can someone explain this? One lady says she eats a few Cheetos every Monday night and called it a slider?!!

Slider foods, quite simply, are those foods that you can continue to eat and eat without your sleeve providing any resistence. They can be junk type foods like chips, cookies and milk shakes or they can be seemingly healthy foods like salad. The point is that the calories from eating slider foods will add up and up if you are not careful when they slide right through. Most try and avoid slider foods, especially if the nutritional value is on the low side. And yes, Cheetos (or cheerios as the other person mentioned) can be a slider because they grind up to a paste that is not very dense. For me, Mexican restaurant chips and popcorn are sliders. I know I can't eat them as they will pass through pretty quickly and I will just reach for more. Popcorn is also a trigger food for me. Stay away from your trigger foods if you lack the will power to control consumption.

Thank u for explaining that so well! So basically its junk food that has no nutritional value but u have found that sits well in your sleeve So u can just keep munching and munching

Technically, a slider does not need to be junk food but most of the time it is. The slider food does not even hang around in the stomach. It just slides right on through. Chicken, on the other hand, is a good example of an anti-slider as it will leave you full after a small quantity (for most). For example, I can comfortably eat 3-5 ounces of chicken. If I tried to eat more, I would enter a state of discomfort and physically could not eat more without serious pain or other consequences. It is better to pick foods that are anti-sliders as they will keep you full longer and that translates into better results. The definition of a slider is different for everyone. Some may not be able to eat more then a few ounces of popcorn where others might be able to eat the whole bag if they are not careful.

Thank you for asking this question and for the answers that were provided. It makes sense now.
