Slider foods are the foods tht we can eat more of tht we are not supposed to have. They contain no Protein no nutritional value... they basically just fill up our pouch

Really anything that you can eat a lot of and never get full because they compress so small and once they hit the stomach they slide right through. Any kind of liquid.....high carb coffee drinks, milk shakes, fruit smoothies, ice cream, alcohol, etc are obvious sliders. Cookies, chips, popcorn and other "airy" foods are sliders. (They really don't take up that much space once the air is chewed out of them). Even some otherwise nutritious foods can be considered sliders if you can easily eat more than what your calorie limitations allow. For example, nuts and nut butters were a good source of fat and Protein for me early on. But I discovered they never really made me feel full and I like them so much I could easily eat a whole jar of Peanut Butter. They are no longer allowed in my house.

Slider foods are especially dangerous for those with a sensitive sleeve. Dense protein can be uncomfortable and it might be a lot less painful to eat slider foods. I hear this as an excuse for poor food choices from my friend with a lapband and from a couple bypass friends a lot.

It's different for everyone

hi there. looks like I am a little late to this post..but slider foods for me are ..beer..ice cream.. caramels. Reese cups.. for me anyways it is food that goes down real easy and doesnt fill you up like protein will. when I eat a steak or a chicken breast, I can only eat about a third of it. the protein is dense and sits in my stomach and I cant eat anything else. hope that helps. I just try to be very aware of these things and not indulge too often.

anything you can eat a lot of and not feel full.

however, I only worry about slider foods that are NOT good for you. so, for example - I can eat a lot of salad greens, but they are low calorie and some have trace nutrients so I don't worry about those at ALL.

Thank you everyone!
