has anyone gotten sick since their surgery? I have bronchitis and the couch medicine that the doctor prescribed made me dump. So I get no relief from coughing. I am so miserable.

Have you tried allergy medicine?

I haven't had dumping issues with any meds. But one normal dose of night time cold and cough medicine got me drunk. That was a first for me. They do make diabetic friendly (sugar free) adult cough medicine.

I have now learned that I should take half a dose and wait 30 minutes to take the other half. The sugar content is crazy. Next time I will ask for sugar free.< /p>

I haven't been on here in a while. But I am doing great. I have lost about 73 pounds and have about 75 to 80 ponds to go. I have had 3 scopes (egj) and dilations. I feel like I am not losing fast enough. I see the doctor in July for my 6 month check up. Overall, I am so happy I did the gastric bypass. I had my g tube removed in May I was so happy to finally get that thing out. I had it for 4 months. I didn't think I would ever get it out! I am drinking Premier Protein shakes, I get them at SAMs club. They have 30g Protein in 1 shake and I like them so I will stick to them. I use a lot of recipes from theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and bariatricfoodie.com. My new favorite recipe from eggface is coconut cream pie oatmeal! It is delicious. I highly recommend these 2 website for recipes high in protein and low calories. You will love them if you haven't tried them yet! I still have trouble getting 64ounces of Water in a day. But work everyday to meet my goals.

Hi all

1/27/14

Physically doing good. Is anyone having issues with depression? I'm bipolar. Have been all my life. I was on meds prior to surgery and doing okay. I'm still on my meds. I feel like the bipolar is still under control but the depression has gotten pretty bad. My shrink retired in May. I got upset with my therapist right before surgery and hadn't gone back. I started to realize the signs. I saw the wls therapist. She wanted me to start going to support groups. Appt with a new shrink to go over my meds, maybe adjust dosage due to weightloss but not until October. Appt with therapist next week.

Trying to figu

I would like to loose 30 more pounds, but my hunger levels have returned, and im stuggling to keep from gaining. I feel much better, but have to accept the fact, that i must be diligent to stay on top of this!

      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.
