Just curious to see what you all consider slider foods so that I can avoid them. Thanks

According to my NUT, any food that will dissolve in 5 minutes when placed in Water. So crackers, pretzels, Cookies, cake, bread etc. High carb, high processed foods.

That's what I was told. They pass through your stomach so quickly that you will overeat since you never feel full. New tummy can't do its job.

For me, Cookies, crackers, cake. And nuts are bad, too.

For me, it is anything that takes control over my taste buds and is difficult to stop eating even though I know I have had enough to be full. The slider foods cloud my judgement on what is enough. And yes they tend to be heavy on the carbs. My sliders are potatoes (I have never met a potato I did not like), hot homemade breads, muffins, Cookies, pancakes etc. I just totally have to avoid them to have any kind of success.

On the Protein side, have to be careful with cheese.....I love colby and cheddar. Peanut Butter is another. They are good, and the are Protein, but they are dense and high calorie. Nuts, too.

I haven't eaten anything I'm not supposed to at 4-weeks out but I know NUTS are sliders for me so I measure one oz.

My surgeon explained it as a food that "slides" through the stomach before you are able to feel full. He said the reason they can do this is because they dissolve too quickly and said to consider what they would do if placed in Water. So if you placed a chip or cracker in Water it would probably dissolve right away versus a vegetable or Protein. Slider foods are dangerous because if you don't feel full eating them you will eat too much before you realize it!

I am almost 5 months out and heard the term but this info really explained it. Thanks!

Highly processed foods like most breads, Cookies, cakes, pies, candies.

I eat bread but it's sprouted bread or low-carb high Fiber Mission brand tortillas.

Other things like yogurts don't stay in me long but I pair it with a nice Protein so as to get Probiotics and not get hungry.

From what other sleevers have stated I was under the impression that you can eat most of what you want, but because of the restriction much less of it. Is this all wrong?

[tomi71 581]

Technically you can but shouldn't. You need to eat smart (not that you don't, just using my NUTs words.)

Things that are slow to digest and are nutrient-dense are what I was told to eat. I snack all day because I find it keeps my urge to eat crap at bay and its a great metabolism booster since I lift weights.

I do imbibe once in a while but most junk doesn't agree with me anymore.
