let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

let newController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ProfileViewController")
// replace the identifier with whatever you call your menu
let leftViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Left")

let slideMenuController = SlideMenuController(mainViewController: newController, leftMenuViewController: leftViewController)

// navigate to next view
self.present(slideMenuController, animated: false, completion: nil)

@Vrezhg if you repeat this will those controllers pile up in memory? Genuinely curious.

That's a fair question but one that I can't answer. I suppose depending on how strong of a reference the program holds to these variables. Its my understanding that as soon as there is no longer something referring to the old view controllers that it should be removed from memory. Just a theory I could be wrong

If there was a way to do an unwind on this style of instantiation...

I am a newbie in both ios development and swift 3, so I don't know if my method to pushViewController from side menu is good or bad in terms of development; but it works. Here is what I did.

1. attach a navigationController programmatically to mainViewController as shown in this repo.
2. in leftViewController catch taps on button and save the button's desired viewController's storyboard id in userDeafaults.standards variable
3. In mainViewController's slideMenuControllerDelegate's leftWillClose method, instantiate desired viewController from userDefaults.standard variable created in step 2. Then self.navigationController->pushViewController

Use this inside your viewcontroller: self.slideMenuController()?.changeMainViewController(controller, close: true)

Full example:

class MenuViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @IBAction func homePressed(sender: UIButton) {
        if let controller = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeNav") {
            self.slideMenuController()?.changeMainViewController(controller, close: true)
        }
    }

    @IBAction func favoritesPressed(sender: UIButton) {
        if let controller = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FavoritesNav") {
            self.slideMenuController()?.changeMainViewController(controller, close: true)
        }
    }
}
