Any foods that "stick" with you longer?

I sometimes feel hungry 2-3 hours after eating. Are there any foods that can help the fullness last longer?

I think Protein is the best way to feel full longer. I like cheese sticks or laughing cow cheeses.

Most Proteins will last longer, eggs, meats, and fish such as salmon.

i eat really small every 3-4 hours - it best suits me because i don't eat much at all when i sit down for a meal.

3 hours means it's time for a snack...cheese cubes, deli meat, hard boiled egg, anything Protein you can eat in a little serving. I eat every 3 hours.

I have found that I have to eat small portions every three-four hours. I am at 8 mos out and this has evolved over time. I started at the beginning with three basic meals and a small "snack" such as some fruit but was always very weak and light headed because I wasn't able to get enough Protein down at a time. So this works better for me. Of course, it's obvious that protein is the better choice! "Sliders" are very tempting at this point!

To be honest, I just got off the phone with my physician's office, and his main nurse/marketing woman told me "they" recommend eating 3 meals a day. BUT she also told me that when I sit down and try to eat 50g of skin-less chicken breast, 50g of steam rice, 100cc of chicken Soup at 315 calories, that volume exceeds my 25% new stomach which she estimates to hold 100cc's un-stretched. So, that mere amount of food is double the volume I can handle right now.

I told her I understand her explanation and math, but what she really just said was that I am limited to about 150 calories per meal. So, there was no way in heck AFA I can figure that I am suppose to eat only 3 meals per day.

It's got to be 5 to 6 meals per day at that kind of volume, in order to add up to say 1000 calories minimum per day for me (man, 48 yrs). Sometimes, the medical advise from even your own physician is just plain WRONG!

Eat more meals per day according to the new low volume of your reduced stomach.
