Today has been horrible! We've been trying to purchase a new home, I found out this morning that a we were going to have to wait a little longer. (Been waiting for 45 days!) Then right after that I get a call from my adocvate calls changing my surgery date. I've already put it off when it could've been done this month. So now I've got to wait until Dec. 6th. I have wanted to cry all day, but can't because I'm at work. With the date change it means that I will have surgery on Friday, come home on Sunday, and have to come back to work on Monday. I have no other choice about coming back to work that fast. I just need to vent, thanks to anyone that read this.

So sorry to hear about your frustrations. Buying a house and getting this surgery are both very emotional situations. Waiting for either one is not easy. I hope you can have a good cry after work - and then, feel better to face the challenges ahead. {{Hugs}}

I was planning for a December date but I got the call today that it will be on November 19. So I guess its time to get to know all of you! I'll tell you a little bit about me. I started this journey on July 10th. I currently weigh 294 down from 314. I'm proud mommy to 4 great kids. I work in healthcare quality but I plan to change careers after I reach my goal weight. My husband isn't all the way on board with rny but I think he's just afraid for my safety. Plus I don't think he's ready to make changes to his diet. I look forward to catching up and getting in with this group. :)

      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.

      Global Alternative Sweeteners Market Trends:
      Governing agencies and health organizations of several countries are implementing policies to reduce sugar consumption as they recognize its detrimental health impacts. 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.
