I hear people saying they can get slider foods down just fine. What are they?

I'm not positive, but I've heard that term used in two different ways, so I'm curious what others will say also. I've heard people say it as a food that is liquid or semi liquid that "slides" through the sleeve easily. But I've also heard it used as a negative term, where there are foods that we shouldn't eat after surgery (like ice cream) that are excessive calories, but because of their consistency, you can tolerate them (although most seem like the sugar would cause an adverse reaction)

Slider refers to any thing with calories that goes down easy. For example, yogurt it a slider food. One can eat as much as you want without feeling full. However, add some dry oatmeal to it and it will stick to your ribs. Other sliders would be ice cream and soda.

I must be weird because I can eat yogurt and be full afterwards for several hours. So it is not a slider for me.

yogurt it a slider food.

Popcorn is my biggest slider (I can eat a whole bucket if I get one). Also chips/dip, crackers, and Cookies. Ice cream, however, is not for me. I can only eat about 4-6 bites and be good.

I think a slider is personal for everyone. Basically it's whatever goes thru easily without filling u up. I think even healthy foods can be sliders (like yogurt)

Popcorn, for sure.
