What are your sliders? Mine are yogurt, nuts and protein bars. Eventually I will feel restriction but I've consumed so many calories by that point it's like sabotage (never tried this, decided to be cautious when I saw the calorie count and my tolerance )

Fruit for sure....

Thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread, I am only 2 weeks on solid foods so it is too early for me to tell BUT I see many foods on this list (bars, cashews, HaloTop) that I regularly consumed prior to starting my preop diet that it strengthens my resolve to avoid these until I am much further along. Cashews and the "healthy" bars (Atkins, Premiere Protein and others) are like crack cocaine to me (even though I have never tried it and I lose all sense of portion control.

Now that i know what a slider food is, I would also have to say it's fruit for me as well.

Ice cream and popcorn is definitely a slider for me!
Over Christmas I made the mistake of having about 10 cashews - I was bloated and full until the next day. Couldn’t even sit down and have Christmas dinner with my family.
Protein bars I still can’t handle 8 mo. post-op, 1/2 bar feels like bricks sitting in my pouch. I carry one in my purse at all times though just in case my sugar levels completely drop

So far, only smooth Soups, like Tomato or anything broth like, are sliders, oh, and yogurt too. I don't get that full sensation, I just feel satisfied after eating about a cup or so.

Ugh, I think I found a true slider food for me... ramen!

So question everyone, are we staying away from sliders or just limiting them?

I liked ramen prior to surgery but post I refuse to eat pasta (outside of Italy and Asia) so I make an all veggie version with eggs of course

I have no off limits foods. If I tell myself I can't have something, that just means I'll want it more, self sabotaging! So I'll just make unhealthy sliders rare, and measured!

That looks good @Tealael

I've done authentic ramen restaurants a few times and that didn't slide. But it has been over a month or more, so maybe that has changed. What slid was instant ramen done as as cold salad, dressed with basically chinese chicken salad dressing. I crave that during the summer, so I think I will see if I can sub spiralized cucumbers for the noodles.

Let us know how it goes!
