liquids are sliders. Ice cream and shakes are sliders. For most of us, processed junk food is a slider, like chips and Cookies. chocolate is a slider food because it melts.

Slider foods are food that immediately pass right through the band. When you eat 3oz of Protein, you have to be careful not to get suck and if you over-eat chances are you're going to feel it. With slider foods, they just go through the band like a liquid so you can pretty much eat it unlimited with no physical repercussions.

I personally don't believe any food is off limits, including sliders, as long as you eat it them in moderation and within your daily calorie allowance. You just have to be very aware when eating slider foods so you don't accidentally eat too much.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
