I have heard people mention "sliders" (food that doesn't remain long in your stomach causing you to feel hungry sooner) while reading several different discussions. Can someone give me a list of the foods that are considered sliders?

Anything that is not dense Proteins... Can be considered a slider. If you are capable of eating more then you should then that is a slider.

Cookies, popcorn, carbs, fruit, candy, french fries, ice cream, nuts, pizza etc. It is not that all of these things are bad for you because they are not. But if you only eat Pasta. It will not stay in your pouch long because the flap will not close to the small intestine. It will go right through and not allow the stomach to do its job and that is to start the digestive process.

So that is why it is said to eat dense proteins ( fish, pork, beef, chicken, bean, legumes, whatever ) first then veggies, fruit and lastly carbs. We need all these things plus fats to stay healthy. We just need to put them in place A combination of carbs and Protein make a complete protein and that is good for your sugars which everything we eat is turned into sugar.

Anything with low nutritional value that "slides" down easily and does not contribute to long term satiety. chips, Cookies, ice cream, coffee creamer, etc. I haven't "sworn off" these, but find ways to have them in a portion controlled manner working them into my nutritional plan for the day. I never eat chips or crackers out of the bag\box and will do Weight Watchers ice cream bars since they are single packaged, counting them into my daily totals AFTER I've met my Protein requirements.
