Slider Foods



Recommended Posts

Im almost 7 weeks and cheetos are great, trying not to abuse them, there is not much space anyways, but dont want to create a habit. For the record I was not a ' cheetos lover ' before my sleeve. Just a happy slider! Lol

I'm still losing weight, 50lbs so far!

If you love some of these foods especially Cheetos or Cookies, buy the Gerber baby food brand. I buy the Gerber graduates cookies and Cheetos and they are so good. There's almost no fat and calories and they r made for babies so they are good to suck on and the dissolve. I love sharing these with my nephew!! :)

Sliders are neither good nor bad - they just are. Most people focus on the bad sliders such as chips and twinkies (generally because the realization of their existence happens when we're early post-op) but there are many good foods that are also sliders - many essential veg, fruits, grains and nuts have a slider quality to them. I would never be able to get in anywhere near enough nutrition or calories to maintain a stable long term weight. The firm, dense meat type Proteins are still restricted to around 3 oz for me after 15-16 months, but I could never get in the 2000 calories per day that I need to be stable if I didn't use the slider quality of many foods - but those are good, high nutrition sliders rather than crap sliders.

Learning to use sliders for good rather than evil is one of the things that most of us need to wrap our brains around when it comes time to stop the loss and maintain a healthy long term diet over the long term.

Please post this on all those "I'm 3 days post op, when can I eat pizza and hamburgers again?" threads.

Totally agree...if you can't stay away from them early out, you are going to have a hell of a time later on.

popcorn is a big one for me. I can barely get through a few spoonfuls of tuna fish before I'm feeling full but I can eat a whole bag of popcorn without much trouble.

I am of the mentality that I don't want to deny myself things that I really want. (That's food, of course. I really want a Porsche Caymen too but I will deny myself that one. lol) I love to have it when I go to the movies so I get the smallest bag of popcorn. No additional salt or butter. But thats the only time I allow it.

Slider foods don't have to also be "never again" foods, you just have to (like everything else with this surgery) be mentally prepared and willing to say no.

      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.
