Slider foods are foods that just slide right down. Alot of people say carbs are sliders for them (they are for me too) and then there's ice cream, chocolate those slide right down. It's basically foods that slide down and can possibly do some damage to your weight loss....

They can be different for everyone but basically it is a food the "slides" through your sleeve, and is harder to get full off of. For me a slider is chips-- with or with out dip. I can eat a lot of chips with no problems.

To add to what everyone else said, the opposite of a slider food would be dense Protein foods like meat. Those sit in your stomach and don't slide through your stomach- they make you feel full for longer. Slider foods don't give you the level of satiety that a high protein food would, and you are more likely to eat more or sooner.

For me it's foods that go down easily and that you can eat a lot of. That would be chips and candy for me :(

sliders are more of a liquid/liquid-like item - ice cream, pudding, Soup. Forget the carb red herring, it is those things that don't need a long digestion in the stomach. Technically, Water is a slider, it doesn't stay in stomach long and can be a slider catalyst by drinking water while eating or soon after, it can flush the food out of your stomach and into the intestines.

Ironic that you used the "red herring" logical fallacy as all the items you named are high in quickly digestible carbs. Crackers, chips, high starch/low Fiber foods break down into a slurry at almost the same rate as pudding. Actually, pudding and milk might stay a bit longer as they tend to curd in the stomach, whereas chips, crackers, Cookies, baked goods, and starchy foods don't. Anything that can melt in your mouth or be reduced to liquid with saliva is a good candidate for classification as a "slider" food.

      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.
