I have much more energy! I can go without taking a nap throughout the whole day. I can walk a 2 mile trail without loosing breath and I can do 30 minutes on the elliptical without stopping. I can say that I have hit a stall but I know that my body mass is still shrinking. My wedding ring is falling off and a 18 inch chain sits in my cleavage now. lol. but I am so happy with my progress even with the complications that I have had. I have my 3 month check up today and I am down 67 pounds according to my scale. I am in a 16-18 pant from a 22-24 and a xl from a 2xl-3xl.

I eat the same stuff mostly.. get tired of it but my nut is very strict and still has me on liquids, oatmeal, cheese, and eggs.. no mushies yet. I see him in 2 weeks and get my next diet plan. I have much more energy, don't nap in the day and having trouble sleeping at night.

That's fantastic!! I would say for your starting weight you are doing great!! I started similar, 195, currently 157. I get frustrated that it's not coming off faster, or as fast as it was. However it is still coming off! What's your goal? Mine was 145, but now that I'm lowering it to 135, realizing as I get smaller there's more to lose.

Well, I had surgery on January 9th. I have lost 49 lbs since surgery with me losing 118 lbs in the past year. I am eating pretty much what I want within reason while staying within the sugar/fat/protein triangle. I even have small baby spinach salad loaded with meat and a cap-ful of dressing. My problem that I have been having has been dizzy spells, almost fainting, and fatigue on a daily basis. I talked with my PCP and GI Nutrition team. They ruled out deficiencies and hypoglycemia. I have been referred to a cardiologist because since surgery my blood pressure has gotten really low as well as my pre-surgical EKGs came back with sinus bradycardia and an arrhythmia. So I have to find out what is going on. I find it funny that I am losing weight to get healthy and now I might have to get a pacemaker in order for my heart to speed up and pump harder in order to be healthy. But other than that I find myself walking more, trying out yoga, and signing up for 5K races. I feel like a new person.

Since we are similar starting weight, surgery date, goals and loss - we can help motivate each other though the ups and downs... Hopefully more downs, in the good way ;)

Bummer! I gained 3.5 pounds. I have a Protein Shake in the a.m. An egg in the afternoon, and for dinner I have a piece of chicken, steak, or hamburg. I'm lactose intolerant so it's hard to find safe foods to eat. I'm working out everyday. I'm confused as to why I'm gaining.

      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.
