what are sliders?

What ate examples of slider foods? Would pudding with Protein Powder be in this category?

I think that anything that would just slide down without having to chew, Jello, pudding, cream Soup etc. I have to admit my brain went instantly to those wonderful little mini burgers though.

Ha! Little burgers....I was thinking about those too!

Carbs are slider foods for many too as it just doesn't you as full for so long and you can eat past your calorie limit.

Sweets are also sliders

Sliders are anything that can be chewed down, or swallowed without much effort. Usually those foods are calorie dense and nutrient lacking. pudding, yogurt, any liquid, Soups, chips, crackers, pretzels, potatoes are all examples of sliders. For some of us, sliders change. bread items were difficult for me to eat the first year. Bread is now a slider a for me especially toasted breads like pita, naan, tortillas. I still can't eat a lot of bread, but it goes down way easier than it did early out. Chips, crackers, and pretzels are super sliders for me. I can easily eat 12-20 crackers and not feel restriction.

Thanks, found this info very useful.

Thank you. I see "sliders" on the forum sometimes and didn't know for sure what they were. I'm not that far out from surgery (June 23rd). I'm still just trying to get in enough liquids and Protein each day.

I always assumed popcorn would be difficult to eat, but it turns out I could literally eat it continuously without having to stop. A big slider for me - I have to stick to the 100 calorie bags when I have it.

crackers, pudding, some breads, candy, anything that goes in easy and out fast! Never causing fullness.

Watermelon is a slider for me. I can literally eat it and eat it and eat it. I have had to cut it completely out of my diet because I have no willpower when it comes to watermelon.

This slider topic opened my eyes a bit. I thought that once i got sleeved I would only be able to eat a small portion of anything. So approximately how many ounces of food will one be able to eat once sleeved? I would even think that an entire bag of popcorn (even the 100 calorie bag) would be alot of food for a sleever.

This is definitely giving me new insight and worries me a bit because I'm definitely the greedy type.

My sliders are popcorn ( I agree it has to be the 100 calorie pops or I way over do it ), Ritz Crackers ( OMG I can eat so many of these its ridiculous ), Actually... all crackers, chips, pretzels, anything liquidy, SF candies ( my tummy doesn't like sugar so I can't eat a lot of that - but SF and I get into trouble ), etc... pretty much everything everyone else has already mentioned.

OMG I've become a watermelon junkie...I'm only 4 weeks out, and it's just so good, and sweet, and feels so good in my mouth! My sleeve lets it just pile up in there! LOL... I've had to cut back on it too, but once a week I still get a container of fresh cut watermelon!
