HELP!I NEED A LIST OF SLIDERS!



Recommended Posts

I need help! I kind of understand the basic concept of sliders, but it would really help if I had a list to go by. I'm basically a hands on kind of person. I know you can't really list them all, but if everyone tells me their own experience with them then maybe I can get a better realization of what, specifically, they are!!! Any input would help!

Do you mean foods that may cause you to slide into old habits? My sliders are: bread, cake, Cookies, popcorn and candy. So I just don't eat those things, plus these items go against my surgeons rules.

No, sorry! I mean foods that just slide through the stomach!

popcorn and corn puffs, cheese puffs. Anything like cotton candy. Basically food that breaks down very easily has none or lil nutritional value and will not fill you up!

Oh got it. I actually don't have any issues with food sliding through. I follow my surgeons guidelines and eat Protein first. Nothing I've eaten has given me any problems.

Anything that is liquid or like a yogurt consistency is a slider. Avoid it unless you are using it as a meal replacement/protein source.

I think of sliders as being foods that I heard about once in a Daily Show interview with a food scientist. He used the term "diminishing caloric density" to describe the way cheetos and other snack foods dissolve or melt in your mouth. Think of cheese puffs or cotton candy. It starts off big and fluffy, but it melts down when mixed with saliva and doesn't take up much space. Because it becomes so compact, it doesn't take up much room in your stomach and doesn't make you feel full.

Other sliders would be liquidy foods. Don't drink your calories!

Crackers, chips, popcorn, Cookies... They all start to digest in the mouth and break down so quickly and easily they slide right through for me.

Strangely yogert does not. It fills my stomach and makes me full. Probably because of the Protein, I imagine.

I consider sliders any kind of junk food because it " slides" down easily. That's the kind of food that went right through my band. Haven't tried anything yet with my sleeve

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
