I don"t know much about sliders can you list a few examples?

TinyTerry

A slider is something you can eat easily without making your tummy feel full :angry:

Popcorn is a slider for me.

(you are too early PO - don't have any popcorn til doc gives the ok)

anyways, they have those small individual bags that have 100 calories each

i'll have a bag once in a while, (thats ok) - but then i make another bag - and i have even done 3 bags at a sitting

ok, ok guys - my big confession for the day

ahhhhhhhh, thats a load off my shoulders

another big slider for me are pistachio nuts (i'm a little nutty anyways :lol: )

they are good for you - 28 would make a serving

welllll.....i've indulged in quite a few more than that :angry:

i've basically stopped eating both of the above - too easy for me to keep eating - don't want to tempt myself, keeping that stuff around

in moderation (as anything) both popcorn and pistachios are fine

but old habits can die hard, knowing i/you can't control ourselves over a certain food is 1/2 the battle

i choose not to have any around :angry:

your comment/quesion about shakes (Protein?) being a slider "amuses" me ;)

some people like the shakes (not me) but the concern that shakes are a slider???who would want to drink too many of those? :D

good luck

32 lbs down :o

lookin' good newbie :)

kathy

congrats

Even though a Protein Shake may slide down I don't think it's considered a slider.

If it's a ice cream shake or some sugar filled coffee drink, maybe.

Basically things that don't create a feeling of restriction that are empty calories with no Protein or things that fall under this category that create craving for more (carbs).

Each person may have different sliders foods.

Mashed potatoes. (I've yet to have these but I've read in other posts they are sliders)

For ME crackers, chips and almonds can be. (I can eat way more than a "serving" of almonds).

I think people have different slider foods, so you will also figure out some that pertain to yourself and may be the same or different than ones mentioned.

Special K cracker chips, unless I add hummus... Fresh fruit and fresh veggies (hooray!!!).

Most everything else lands like a ton of bricks.

Thanks everyone....this is very helpful. I never thought that carbs went through the pouch so quickly. Good to know. I have been staying away from them!

I've seen so many say that nuts are a slider... I can eat them without any sliming or discomfort but they fill me up FAST!!!

I had some plain air popped popcorn over the weekend. Have a popcorn maker that doesn't use oil, butter, nothing. That's a dangerous thing for me to have around. :-)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
