Banana's Are Slider Food For Me



Recommended Posts

I've been hearing a lot of talk about slider foods since I joined this site, although posters have explained it I still really didn't fully comprehend it until I had a banana for a snack today. OMG who would have thought! I am 4 weeks post-op and can only eat about 2 oz of food at each meal, sometimes a little less so I was so surprised when I was down to the last bite of my banana and was thinking I pretty much ate the entire thing.

I'm actually glad that I experienced it for myself, now I know to be watchful of slider foods and Portion Control.

I'm loving my sleeve...

Thanks guys for making me aware :455_rosette::P

Hey friend! Glad you are doing well :)

All fruits are sliders for me. I don't know if it will be the same for you, but just wanted to give you a heads up!

Ugh. Banana's aren't a slider for me. I'm 9 months out and recently had one half of a large banana and was in so much pain. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have eaten since surgery. Granted I'm thinking I musta woofed it down. But definitely not a slider in my book.

I wonder if you could do a banana in a greek yogurt and Protein smoothie? Maybe the texture of a raw banana is too heavy by itself. Worth a shot if you want the added potassium and like the flavor. I know I did a half of a banana in my protein smoothie with some almonds for the longest time.

I choked earlier in the week on Greek yogurt, but each,day that Precious is older, maybe she will calm down, maybe with the liquidfication it will go well. Never had trouble with blueberry yogurt Muscle Milk, it is sure worth an aytempt!👍😪👍

      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.
