Why is it that I can only eat like 2 bites of lean turkey meat, or any other Protein, like cottage cheese, fish etc. But the BAD/Carby or fat foods like chips or bread or Cookies go down easy and I don't feel full? Are those what are called slider foods?

Can anyone define that for me and explain?

I feel like I can eat MORE of the bad stuff, even when it seems to be thick regular food...

Anyway, any comments appreciated. I am on all regular foods except salad but still trying to do the protein first etc etc

chips chew down to practically nothing so they go down easy. When eating meat, you need to cut it up very tiny and chew it up until it's like a paste in your mouth.

Slider foods are foods that are soft and soupy and don't stay in the stomach very long. Cottage cheese can be a slider food, so is Soup, and yogurt.

Rachel,

I "think" the slider foods are the calorically dense, drinkable calories - stuff like milkshakes, ice cream, maybe even some smoothies.....

      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?
