Sliders are foods that go right through the band and give no satiety signals. Like ice cream, chocolate, chips, casseroles, etc.

For me, a bag of cheese Puffs or Cheese Curls (whatever you call them, they practically melt on the tongue). Every now and then, I have a few.

Sliders are different to a lot of people. For instance sugar cereals for me are sliders but healthier ones like raisin bran and shredded wheat are not.

Even "sliders" fill me in lucky my band def has away if telling me umm sorry your done. Do I eat everything in moderation. Yes I have ice cream . chips do not like me don't know if it's the grease but it never ends well. I try and make good clean choices so when I do eat not so clean my body tells me and I am thankful I can't go back to my old ways .

Carbs in general are slider foods... I have learned how to eat around the band so with enough chewing anything can be a slider food... just not as much. Ugh! this makes the journey much harder than expected

Here's what doesn't give me a soft stop, so I guess these are my sliders:

salad

Soup

popcorn

chips

Pasta

Some breads

Here's what gets me stuck:

Pork chops

Here's what gives me a soft stop and satisfies me if I slow down and chew well:

cheese

Red meat like beef or hamburger

chicken

Chili

Some breads

eggs

Here's what satisfies me for hours but does not give me a soft stop:

Protein shakes

ice cream cannot be in my home for me. It calls to me at night It soothes me. So frozen yogurt occasionally. Regular Greek Yogurt.

Sigh. Can't have it. I know myself not to buy ice cream. Has any one else noticed you shop so much less?

Much less shopping. I bought Cookies for granddaughter yesterday and ate 4 of them, 220 calories each. Hubby and I have decided, no more cookies in the house.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
