Hi guys,

I had my band June 6th (in the UK, where I live), and have had two fills. Everything is going very well. I've lost about 20 pounds.

I get discomfort if I don't chew properly, so I'm working on that.

Which foods do you guys find keep you full and not hungry for a long time? I'm finding I generally eat less now, but am not sure what the best solid fibrous foods are... I still get hungry quite quickly I think.

Thanks!

John

Protein first, then if I'm still hungry whole grain carbs.

Fish, chicken, meat, yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs all good protein choices.

oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potato, whole grain bread, all good carbs

I found the best food for me is chili - Beans and meat and lotsa Protein seems to do the trick. I could live on chili...LOL

I also like sloppy joe meat with some shredded cheese on it....YUMMO! Seems like the more protein I can pack into a meal the better I do....I rarely have any room for anything else after the protein.

soo funny!! I make a cauldron of chili every week for myself!!! I use ground turkey most of the time, and top it with some cheese and chopped sweet onion......yum!!!

Chili is my go-to food everytime. It's easy to make, it reheats well and it tastes better the next day. Now I busily look for new chili recipes. So far I've tried the usual red chili, white chili and a turkey chili with pumpkin.

I had chili today, and it was soooooo filling! It lasted for hours. Check it out. :puke:

I really need to include wholegrains to feel full for a long time. They fill that stomach space (my band isnt tight) and give me lasting satisfaction - Protein and vegies just doesnt cut it for me. I need to add bread, Pasta or rice.

Luckily that's not affected my weight loss at all.

I've tried oatmeal. It will only last 2-3 hours, and I become hungry again.

I too have chili all the time. I love Wendy's and Safeway's the best. Keeps me full and satisfied for a long time.

Eggs last the longest for me, then beef or pork. I also agree with the posters above; as a meal, chili definitely keeps me full, and is relatively easy for me to eat.

I love potato soup it last very long for me... especially if it's creamy... yummie. And I also love the sloppy joe.. but potato soup any day for me..
