Though I am not supposed to be eating soft food yet, I am curious as to what slider foods are exactly? Purely, so I can make sure to avoid them.

I've read many threads and I am still a little confused.

Is this an individual thing?

Cream of chicken soup is the only slider food I've eaten.

Slider foods tend to be different for different people. For me, chips, cookies, rice cakes, not necessarily "soft" foods as you can see. A slider food for you is whateve you can eat way too much of and that doesn't stick with you. Candy is another common "soft" food for people. So you may just need a trial and error. But those foods, if you choose to eat them, you need to really pay attention to and restrict the amount you eat. If you can't - stay away from them!

Ice cream, chocolate, creamy pies.

ooh man i just learned icecream was huuuge slider food. I never eat reg icecream and swore up and down ill say it again uppp and down tasti delight is my "icecream" but lately ive made bad choices.. ben and jerrys and low and behold i can eat a pint.

so yeh learn them or theyll introduce themselves to you.. either way be aware and stay far very far away!!!!

Soups, salad, ice cream, chips and salsa...salad and ice cream are the tough ones for me to avoid.

I don't have any yet. My cousin told me that hers was Cheetos Puffs. She said she could sit and eat a huge bag of the soft Cheetos without ever even feeling like she had eaten one. Kind of makes sense. THey are mostly air. Tons of calories though.

I eat a lot of veggie soups and meat stews still, and don't consider them a slider food. I see ice cream, candy, crackers, snack foods as my sliders!

Cereal is a slider. Cooked steel oats and raisins seem to stick with me for the entire morning though. Popcorn is a slider for me along with most fruits.

Definitely any food you can overeat or any food you tend to choose over healthier alternatives because you just cant be bothered trying to get down what you should be eating.

I'm a bread eater, so I do eat sandwiches. But a tuna and salad sandwich is hard to eat, slow, dangerous, takes effort. I can eat about 5 rice cakes, slathered with butter. More really. Naturally I tend to "feel like" rice cakes more than I feel like eating the sandwich. Less nutritious, much more fat (love the butter on top!), virtually no Protein, all carbs. Bad choice. So for me, rice cakes are slider foods.

So are healthy foods like cheese, yogurt, soup. I eat them so I dont have to bother with harder things. Doesnt mean they're bad, just means i need to make sure I eat a balanced diet and not always choose them.

Then there's the foods you can eat when yo've just pb'd - chocolate, ice cream, pudding. Not so good.
