Sliders are foods that go right through the band and give no satiety signals. Like ice cream, chocolate, chips, casseroles, etc.

For me, a bag of cheese Puffs or Cheese Curls (whatever you call them, they practically melt on the tongue). Every now and then, I have a few.

Sliders are different to a lot of people. For instance sugar cereals for me are sliders but healthier ones like raisin bran and shredded wheat are not.

Even "sliders" fill me in lucky my band def has away if telling me umm sorry your done. Do I eat everything in moderation. Yes I have ice cream . chips do not like me don't know if it's the grease but it never ends well. I try and make good clean choices so when I do eat not so clean my body tells me and I am thankful I can't go back to my old ways .

Carbs in general are slider foods... I have learned how to eat around the band so with enough chewing anything can be a slider food... just not as much. Ugh! this makes the journey much harder than expected

Here's what doesn't give me a soft stop, so I guess these are my sliders:

salad

Soup

popcorn

chips

Pasta

Some breads

Here's what gets me stuck:

Pork chops

Here's what gives me a soft stop and satisfies me if I slow down and chew well:

cheese

Red meat like beef or hamburger

chicken

Chili

Some breads

eggs

Here's what satisfies me for hours but does not give me a soft stop:

Protein shakes

.

ice cream cannot be in my home for me. It calls to me at night It soothes me. So frozen yogurt occasionally. Regular Greek Yogurt.

Sigh. Can't have it. I know myself not to buy ice cream. Has any one else noticed you shop so much less?

Much less shopping. I bought Cookies for granddaughter yesterday and ate 4 of them, 220 calories each. Hubby and I have decided, no more cookies in the house.

      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.
