Our bodies are really smart. Sometimes this is frustrating! I learned from my NP today that weight loss -- especially drastic weight loss like mine-- can reduce one's basal metabolic rate.

Permanently.

It's a little frustrating that I had to a) research and find out that DS 2.0 does not absorb as much SSRIs as DS 1.0 -- not for the first few months post op, at any rate -- and then b) very specifically ask my doc if it would be okay to increase my dose for a while.

You'd think that they'd want to be proactive about things like that.

Yay! Tofu mayo is a thing! I kinda thought it was. And it can be made with or without oil! I'll give it a try some time this week.

Perry seems to give me less trouble when I include some kind of soft goopy thing (usually Greek yogurt) in my meals.

Tofu mayo could be an option that would supply both protein and unsaturated fat, both of which I have trouble getting enough of these days.

Na mijn #gastric-bypass nog maar enkel vegetarisch. Wel een eitje en kwark. Mijn kookboeken..

7 dagen verder. 2,5 kilo afgevallen. Nog 2,5 kilo tot #gastric #bypass operatie. Doel was 5 kilo. Nog 7 dagen te gaan. 22 december is de dag dat ik 4/5 maag ga laten afstoten. En anderhalve meter dunne darm. Daarna 2 weken lang gepureerd voedsel. 100 gram. Ik heb daar al mooie ideeën over voor eerste kerstdag: 33 gram zalmnotenmousse, 33 gram artisjok/spinaziemousse en 33 gram kwarkmousse met kaneel en kers. Mooi vormgegeven op een te groot bord en wat druppeltjes zoete frambozen balsemicoazijn.
