Have you had weight loss surgery? I ask because if you have a smaller stomach (VSG) or smaller pouch (RNY) then a good strategy is to make sure you prioritize protein. I can eat five Christmas cookies or an entire bag of popcorn and not be full. But give me 5 ounces of deli meat and I am stuffed. So if you are at a party, go for the meat and cheese first, leaving less room for the dessert table. At a holiday dinner, eat the ham and turkey first and way less mashed potatoes and stuffing.
