I think what works as a slider is different for everyone. For me it is some kinds of mexican foods, basically they are foods you can eat much more of than you are supposed to because they tend to go through the band. Also I have heard that milk shakes, mashed potatoes, ice cream are all sliders for most people although I have trouble with cold drinks like milk shakes and they tend to come back up. It is one of those things you just have to play with and identify what works and does not work for you.

Slider foods are foods which are high calorie , low in nutrition and go through the band easily so you are able to eat a lot more than you should as the band does not restrict them.e.g

chocolate

icecream

Cookies

milkshake etc

Some foods go down easily but they are not considered sliders as they are high in nutrition.e.g

yogurt

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
