Examples of "slider" foods?



Recommended Posts

Though I am not supposed to be eating soft food yet, I am curious as to what slider foods are exactly? Purely, so I can make sure to avoid them.

I've read many threads and I am still a little confused.

Is this an individual thing?

Cream of chicken Soup is the only slider food I've eaten.

Slider foods tend to be different for different people. For me, chips, Cookies, rice cakes, not necessarily "soft" foods as you can see. A slider food for you is whateve you can eat way too much of and that doesn't stick with you. candy is another common "soft" food for people. So you may just need a trial and error. But those foods, if you choose to eat them, you need to really pay attention to and restrict the amount you eat. If you can't - stay away from them!

I don't have any yet. My cousin told me that hers was Cheetos Puffs. She said she could sit and eat a huge bag of the soft Cheetos without ever even feeling like she had eaten one. Kind of makes sense. THey are mostly air. Tons of calories though.

Cereal is a slider. Cooked steel oats and raisins seem to stick with me for the entire morning though. popcorn is a slider for me along with most fruits.

Definitely any food you can overeat or any food you tend to choose over healthier alternatives because you just cant be bothered trying to get down what you should be eating.

I'm a bread eater, so I do eat sandwiches. But a tuna and salad sandwich is hard to eat, slow, dangerous, takes effort. I can eat about 5 rice cakes, slathered with butter. More really. Naturally I tend to "feel like" rice cakes more than I feel like eating the sandwich. Less nutritious, much more fat (love the butter on top!), virtually no Protein, all carbs. Bad choice. So for me, rice cakes are slider foods.

So are healthy foods like cheese, yogurt, Soup. I eat them so I dont have to bother with harder things. Doesnt mean they're bad, just means i need to make sure I eat a balanced diet and not always choose them.

Then there's the foods you can eat when yo've just pb'd - chocolate, ice cream, pudding. Not so good.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
