Filling, long-lasting foods



Recommended Posts

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

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 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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
