Recommended Posts

I am Aug 21st too! I think I would want to smack her for bringing that donut by me. My husband said I was cranky yesterday. I am on my 3rd day pre-op diet. The first went ok' date=' I was hungry throughout the day and went to bed hungry. Yesterday my stomach wasn't begging as much for some "regular" food and today was better than yesterday. I hope it continues to get better. You can get through this...a lot of people have gone before us and have been successful. :)[/quote']

Thanks for the words of encouragement...she almost had me with that donut! Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Hi everyone- I am have been on liquids since Wdnesday morning. And that is Clear Liquids (not full) so no Protein Shakes. Water, flavored water, soda, broth, Jello and popsiciles. I am having a horrible time and feel tired, weak, shakey, fuzzy, and have headaches. I just brewed a cup of coffee (which we can have, no cream, no sugar). Thank goodness I only have the rest of today and Sunday-Tuesday like this. However, I am EXTEMELY worried about going to work Monday and Tuesday like this. Heck, I am worried about driving in about an hour to go to the chiropractor. Any advice?

If you have a GNC near I would suggest Isopure RTD so you can get Protein. Not sure if they taste ok but heck anything to get you out of your fog. That is a long time on clear liquids & no protein.

I wish I could. I even called the dietician and she said no protein.

A little juice diluted with Water twice a day and a cracker if I feel light headed.

They are serious about the no protien... :(

Only a couple more days.... Thanks for the advice though! I was looking at all of the Protein Shakes and water I have in the fridge for after surgery and wanted to down one so bad.... lol. I was good though and had a Coke Zero instead hoping the caffeine helps!

I can't wait to reach that milestone and feel healthy again, one thing I'm learning its not the easy way out its a lifestyle change for the better, anytime you have to change something you've always done its not easy at all.

Don't use mouth wash or breath strips while on antibiotics. I got thrush & I think that is why I got it.

Try coconut Water during your 1st week of clear liquids (post-op) -- good electrolytes and tastes refreshing (much better than Gatorade).

      IMARC Group’s report titled “Alternative Sweeteners Market Report by Product Type (High Fructose Syrup, High-Intensity Sweeteners, Low-Intensity Sweeteners), Source (Natural, Synthetic), Application (Food, Beverages, and Others), and Region 2024-2032”. The global alternative sweeteners market size reached US$ 4.9 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.05% during 2024-2032.

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.

Various regulatory bodies are approving alternative sweeteners for use, ensuring their safety and efficacy. These approvals provide food and beverage manufacturers with the confidence to incorporate alternative sweeteners into their products. Additionally, initiatives like sugar taxes in several countries are pushing companies to seek healthier alternatives to traditional sugar.
