Slider foods

[reneek 1]

I am having surgery on may 12 and i have heard many of you talk about slider foods. What are slider foods? I mean i kinda know what that means. Things that will go right through the band. I would think things like yogurt and ice cream and calorie loaded drinks but i read someone say crackers so i am confussed. Does anyone have a list of slider foods.

If it tastes good and you want more, it is probably a slider food. Even tortilla chips are slider food for me, along with the salsa, sour cream, and guacamole that accompany the chips.

Ice cream definitely, mashed potatoes can be....it's the stuff that you know is loaded with fat and calories and that you can eat a bunch of it even with your band. Here's where good choices and willlpower become your only help.

macaroni and cheese is a slider food for me.

Anything really.

I can just about guarantee that when I sit and think "hmmm, what do I want for breakfast" my appetite will steer me to the easier food. It may not be ice cream but it might be yogurt, or a particular Cereal I find easier to eat and the thought of an egg on toast makes me think "nah, dont feel like that". I guarantee the egg on toast will sit with me longer, give me more energy and end up with me eating less overall during the day. But I want the slider food - the one that is easy to eat and doesnt take much concentration or effort.

Its the biggest challenge of banding for me.

Any sort of crisp or chip is a slider food for me. But they were my worse problem pre-band, so I just have to be strong.

The more weight I lose tho, the easier it is getting!

I am relatively new to this also so I just think of slider food as anything that can slide through my band and not stay in the pouch - chocolate, icecream, yogurt, soft drinks, chips etc :thumbsup: If its a problem to eat, and takes my full 20minutes it is good!
