It's generally agreed that eating sliders is a positive experience. A slider (or slyder) is a tiny grilled hamburger or cheeseburger on a steamed bun, made famous by the American fast food company White Castle and typically topped with onions, dill pickles, and other condiments. In the 1940s, they sold for a nickel each, making it possible to order fries with your burger for very little extra money. All reports point to this being a tasty variety of "slider" fare.


Despite their best efforts, slider foods can lead to dumping syndrome, weight loss plateaus, and even weight gain for those who have undergone weight reduction surgery. Soft, simple processed carbohydrates with little to no nutritional value are known as "sliders" among those who have undergone weight loss surgery because they easily pass through the surgical stomach pouch. When you're sick or recovering from surgery, you might want to consume some saltine crackers with some warm tea or another beverage to settle your stomach.

Snacks like pretzels, popcorn, cheese snacks (Cheetos) or cheese crackers, tortilla chips with salsa, potato chips, sugar-free cookies, cakes, and sweets, and sugary drinks are all popular options for sliders. You may find that many of the items served in sliders are too salty and make your mouth feel dry without the addition of fluids. As a result, they are now suitable for use as sliders. Furthermore, they rarely provide any nutritional benefit.

Patients who have had gastric surgery to help them lose weight digest food in a different way than others who have not. Slider foods enter the stomach pouch and travel straight through to the jejunum, where the simple carbohydrate slurry is rapidly absorbed and stored. When compared to protein, simple carbohydrates have a negligible thermic effect during digestion, meaning that only a small amount of metabolic energy is required to break them down. Patients in the weight-loss phase who consume slider foods are statistically more likely to hit a weight-reduction plateau, and even regress, in their weight loss efforts. They will never feel full or restricted like they do when eating protein, which will lead them to the unfortunate conclusion that their laparoscopic stomach pouch is not working well.

The laparoscopic gastric pouch is designed to make a person feel full and uncomfortable when they have eaten enough. However, when soft, simple carbohydrates are consumed, no such constriction or tightness occurs, and one is free to continue consuming unrestrained, massive quantities of food that has little nutritious value.

Due to this, many patients prefer slider foods after gastric sleeve. When they take a small amount of protein from a lean animal or dairy product without any liquids, they feel uncomfortable. However, it is precisely this limitation that the operation hopes to achieve. This pain is meant to make you stop eating. Maintaining a healthy weight after bariatric surgery requires strict adherence to the "Protein First" approach.

High-protein diets are recommended for people recovering from bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass, gastric banding (lap-band), or gastric sleeve. Protein first is the most crucial of what are known as the "Four Rules" that are recommended by bariatric centres to those who have had weight loss surgery. This means that protein must come before carbohydrates, fat, and alcohol when it comes to the patient's diet.

Patients who have undergone weight loss surgery often report feeling deprived after consuming even a small amount of food, and protein may not always be the most tolerable option. However, a protein-rich diet and a low intake of simple carbohydrate based meals are required for the surgical instrument to function well. Even after reaching a healthy weight, it is essential to continue with the high protein diet to prevent weight gain.
