Slider food????

Does anyone have a list of slider foods?

Hi there,

I found the following from 5daypouchtest.com.
Its not a "list" per say, but it will give you some idea.

Question: What are slider foods?

Kaye's Answer: In a malabsorptive procedure the pouch is made and the stoma or outlet is attached to the lower part of the middle intestine called the jejunum. The majority of caloric absorption takes place in the jejunum, so depending upon where your surgeon created the outlet the level of absorption can vary. Skilled surgeons will adjust the length of intestine bypassed according to their patient's projected needs based on dieting history and pre-op psychological screening.

Slider foods slide right through the stoma into the jejunum. My first test of the slider foods was graham crackers and coffee for my after work snack. Now imagine, I could eat a stack of graham crackers and wa**** right through the pouch with the coffee and never feel any satiation. What resulted was an easily absorbed slurry that my jejunum sucked up like a sponge - it didn't have to do any work to absorb this simple carbohydrate slurry. Of course, weight gain resulted and I had to give up this little indulgence.
Another popular slider food is pretzels. I speak with post-ops all the time who are addicted to pretzels - again, this is a simple carb that your jejunum is very happy to receive and convert to fat. Traditionally dieters are encouraged to eat pretzels or popcorn - fat free and fiber, right? But that doesn't work so well for us. Giving our re-routed bodies these simple carbs is dangerous because our bodies have spent years perfect the art of fat storage - slider foods are to the body a great big lottery win.

Simple carbs  will slide right through without the added benefit of a liquid. And several others can talk about cheese nip crackers, popcorn, mashed potatoes, ice cream/yogurt etc.

 

The slider list seems too simplistic.

I would not put popcorn in the same category as pretzels.  Popcorn is a whole grain and a complex carb.  I defy anyone to say that got fat on popcorn.  Now, if you were adding 300 calories of butter and oil to 60 calories of popcorn...the problem wasn't the grain.

Also, yogurt (ESPECIALLY Greek strained yogurt) is not even in the same league as mashed potato.

In the end, there are good slider foods and bad slider foods just like all the other good and bad foods.  If you have a satiety problem, stick to non-sliders:  dense protein like beef/chicken, raw veggies, etc.  For me, I HATE fighting with my food and tend to yogurt, cottage cheese, vegetarian dishes, soup, etc.

thanks I wasn't sure so this will help alot I think sad thig is I think I like slider food I will really have to watch.

haha - we ALL like slider foods.
Thats the problem :)
