I'm far from goal weight but I was sleeved 7 weeks ago and my starting weight was 255. I'm now 212.

I'm so pleased with my progress this far and I can't wait for more weight to come off.

I walk every day and eat good quality ingredients. And always my Protein first.

Getting my sleeve was the best decision of my life.

Dude, congrats man. Thats an awesome amount of weight in less than a year. I am pretty much right where you were. 6' 369. How did the tattoo hold up on your forearm? Too say I am heavily tattooed is an understatement. Sleeved both arms shoulder to wrist, and have one leg done knee to toes. Off all the things to worry about with having major surgery, my tattoos are the only thing I am worried about. My surgery will be scheduled soon (just waiting on final approval)

The forearm tattoo is doing fine. I do have some loose skin under my arms but that is starting to go away since i been lifting a lot. The half sleeve will be a full sleeve and half uper chest piece this time next year. So working hard to tighten my arms and chest up.

I have a leg tattoo and my leg muscles didnt go away at all. My legs did shink but The look crazy muscled out. Happy to say I dont have to do leg days at the gym. Carrying around 260lbs for 15 years was good enough. I do run a few times a week.

So only place I would worry about is your upper arms if you have a lot of weight theere. Start lifting now to fill in the extra skin when it gets to the point.

      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.
