I was just reading a post about slider foods and was wondering what are slider foods? I am thinking they must be sfood that goes down easily. Are slider foods something we are suppose to stay away from? Wondering if cream cheese is a slider food? What about applesauce?

I make my own parmesan crisps. I use 1 bag of finely grated parmesan cheese with 1 Tbsp of flour and mix in rosemary or other dried herbs. Put them in less than teaspoon size mounts on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 7 mins. They are good. I am going to try baking them with out flour just to see what happens.

I read an article about slider foods and this is what it said about slider foods:

"Slider foods are often foods that does not satisfy hunger but instead create a craving. Any food can be a slider food if there is so much pleasure in the mouth-feel or taste that repeating the pleasurable experience takes on more importance than actually feeding hunger. Many are high calorie and highly processed, not nutritious."

I copied this from a post from several years ago:

Slider foods are foods that you are able to eat a lot (to0 much) of. They tend to be low Protein, carb filled "junk" type foods. You will not feel the restriction in your stomach as you do with dense protein. Therefore making them a "dangerous" choice for some who tend to over eat.

Slide foods are foods that go down very easily, so things with a high liquid content or things that dissolve quickly and easily in Water. Think of when you eat a cheeto, how dissolves in your mouth before you even swallow it? That's a slider food. Probably the best example of that would be cotton candy. So, chips, cheetos, some crackers, breads and cakes. Then super liquidy foods like Soup or ice cream or milk shakes. Things that really do just pass right through your sleeve so you don't experience any restriction.

Early on, like just a few weeks post-op, things like soup and yogurt and such do fill you up, due to the swelling you still have in your stomach. But once you are several months out and all healed up, you will see that stuff like that just goes straight through.
