Veggies vs protein fullness

So, when I eat a meal of protein, I can consume about 2.5 ounces comfortably. When I have a vegetable meal I can consume 3.5 ounces comfortably. Is this because veggies are watery? I realize how dumb I sound, but really, is that why? Because meat is denser/heavier?

    I'm still figuring this out myself, but my husband has been banded for years, and he knows that a bite of chicken means he's DONE. He says it is because the chicken is stringy and fills the hole.

    I see. Maybe the meat doesn't pass easily, making us feel fuller.
