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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
