Struggling

3 months post op and having a hard time. I feel hungry, but I think it is more mental than physical. Any suggestions on foods to help keep me fuller longer or tips for avoiding things?

What, exactly, are you eating every day?  

Are you taking a PPI such as Prilosec or Nexium?  Often times hunger is just acid mimicking hunger.  

Eat dense proteins whenever possible - chicken, beef, turkey, ham, etc.  Those will keep you full longer.  I also like eggs and sausage (turkey or pork) for breakfast.  Also, not sure if it is allowed on your plan, but when I feel hungry but it is not time to eat yet, I chew a piece of gum or drink some tea.  It also helps to distract myself by doing something engaging or going for a walk or something.  I keep to a schedule for meals and snacks so I know I only have x amount of time to wait before I eat again.  Hugs.  I know it can be hard to deal with the hunger, mental or physical.  It also helps me to remind myself that its ok to feel hungry sometimes.
