Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I had posted this under the question threads in error (they do not tend to get as much attention)... so decided to move it over here :)
I totally understand how our pouch (RNY at least) is like a funnel... and that soft foods (sliders) such as yogurt, refried beans, etc, can 'slide' right thru without giving us the opportunity to feel full because they don't stay in our pouch as long...
This makes me wonder... with dense food, when we chew it to mush (much more chewing than we did before surgery).... doesn't it then become a slider food as well?
Thanks for the clue in! :)

I think of 'slider foods" as being moist and slippery. If you put yogurt or cottage cheese in a blender you could pour it out, right? However, wf you put meat in a blender it will never really become a liquid...it sticks (unless you put enough moisture in it to "carry" the meat...at which point it starts acting like a slider.
Not sure if it the "right" answer, but that's my best guess!

I also found it comes with time ~ you learn what foods you eat that don't allow you to feel full as long. Those are the keepers.
