For me it's tortilla chips. If they're plain, I feel like I can eat my weight in them. If I use them in nachos (with chicken and cheese on them) though, I have a limit of about three or four before I get full. popcorn is another slider, but I've only eaten it twice so far.

Cheetos are my top slider. IF I buy them, I buy a "single serving" size and TRY to make them last for a few days. I learned the hard way that I cannot have a bigger bag in the house, because they sit in the pantry and mock me. Nothing else does that but baked cheetos.

I guess it could be worse. Before surgery it was any sweet food. 4 months without that craving was wonderful and helped me get to where I can have a few bites of a sweet and I'm fine. I can even throw away a half-eaten candy bar without a twinge of anxiety now! That would have NEVER happened pre-op! :)

I still have a hard time throwing away food. I don't gorge myself just to make sure it's eaten, but I was raised on leftovers and finishing your plate. Luckily I have a roommate who eats anything and everything (and never gains an ounce <_<) that will take whatever I don't finish. Saves us on grocery bill!

I found the perfect solution for the guilt of not finishing your plate. I have 4 chickens out back that will eat ANYTHING! I figure what I don't store as leftovers can go into their pretty eggs.< /p>

popcorn is the one food I've noticed is a complete slider for me . . . luckily it's not too much of a trigger food, I don't crave it often so it's not likely to be a problem for me. I don't care much about sweets so they would probably be a slider but I haven't had enough to find out. :)

Gosh darn movie theatre popcorn. Almost cried the first time I looked up the nutritional information (Thank god I didn't finish a small to myself). From now on I am going to be taking crispy minis buttered popcorn flavour in pre packed 100 cal packs. Movie popcorn is a trigger for me for sure. I feel like I need to be snacking at the movies if someone has popcorn.

I am 9.5 months out and I have found a lot of sliders and calorie-laden drinks. Pretty much any junk food feels like a slider to me because they are so calorie dense. popcorn is the one I have eaten the most of.

Ugh just discovered a new slider . . . cheez balls (you know, the iridescent orange ones!!!). :( Thankfully the kids just finished off the bag before I could eat more than a few - I've already told the husband that he's not allowed to buy them again.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
