I have been on Truvia for a long time.. while on diet soda's and aspertame products my memory was shot.. I had frequent headaches and generally felt terrible.. since switching to Truvia I have regained my memory (not all cause I'm getting older) but started feeling better and had no headaches since.. I am not a Dr or scientist just common sense should tell you that chemicals are not good for you ..as opposed to natural ...

*WAVES THE CONSPIRACY THEORIST'S FLAG* Consumers are being bombarded with genetically modified organisms and we don't even have the right to choose because the powers that be don't make labeling GMOs mandatory. I wouldn't trust "studies" done by the same people who are producing this venom/poison, and I wouldn't trust the government who's in the pocket of said people.

For years the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was considered a conspiracy theory' date=' too. Unfortunately when something being banned will have a potentially huge financial impact, it usually takes many, many years for a definite conclusion to be reached and accepted.[/quote']That tobacco/cigarets example was an EXCELLENT example.

Donna, I hope & pray they get to the bottom of this soon. Have you thought about using natural sweeteners like sugar or honey?? For sure they are less harmful than any synthetic CRAP.

Thx for the replies but that doesn't address the fact that I have to flavor my water bottle each time with something . I tried the squirt lemon juice and didn't like it...

Hope you are able to get to the bottom of these health issues. We have to be such advocates for ourselves and navigate so much. I had Lyme and co infections of Lyme two years ago and t was really something trying to figure out what on earth was wrong and then what to do.

On Water, I fill up a 32oz juice bottle nearly to the top and then add a splash of unsweetened cranberry juice and a capful of aloe Vera. It is delicious and cleansing -- sometimes I knock back three bottles of this a day.

Also I drink a lot of ginger tea, cold or hot. Keeps well in fridge and has a nice mouth kick, like a cocktail.

Donna, be sure to get unsweetened cranberry -- you will only need a splash so a bottle goes a long way. I really like the cleansing properties of aloe but can't drink it plain -- it is masked in the cranberry Water. If you like a sweeter drink, you could try adding Steevia to it (Truvia is a brand of Steevia -- there are others, too -- Steevia is a plant and very, very sweet so a little bit will do). Hope you feel better soon. Hydration is so important!

every body can react differantly to differant everday day things, often it is a trial and error situation . So sorry your are going through all this and if changing works then it works good luck at figureing out the cause.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
