I bought it so excited. Heated it up immediately when I got home, strained the bits out of it, poured into my little Portion Control bowl and ate a few bites slowly so ready for it to be amazing. I then handed it off to my husband and told him I will not be eating it.
The Tomato and Red pepper Soup I shared somewhere has been amazing though. I think its my new favorite.
I get all my Protein in my 3 shakes so I am okayed for a small bowl of non- protein soup daily.

Just found you all 😁 I had my sleeve surgery on the 14th. Today is my first full day at home. Still very tired and I'm a lot of pain. I thought I was ready food wise but struggling getting enough food and Water in, I'm just not hungry and terrified I'm going to do something wrong and ruin this. I slipped and slow fell on my butt from my bed last night but the only thing that was hurt was my pride and my tailbone. I am getting my walking in ...5 min about every other hour.

My preop diet doesn't start until Sunday. Soft foods then and Monday afternoon only broth. How about you?
I have two weeks of 3-4 shakes a day, and lean chicken/tuna and veggies for dinner, have other options but that has been working for me. Monday I will do Clear Liquids mainly to be prepared.

14 days po!

my infection is clearing up (still red around incision but no discharge shine monday) and I am finally slowly loosing the Water weight from the er visit and seeing progress!

11/3 sw 351.4

11/17 cw 338

(for reference, 11/13 when i got home from er i was 352! and january 2022 i was 440)

still working on liquids but close to the 64 oz … tolerating most full liquids fine but starting to get heaviness with dairy so dialing back a little there… no desire to eat or drink so i am just sipping trying to get my ounces … changing back to water from sf beverages in case that’s what’s influencing my lack of thirst (had thought flavor would be a good thing)

Friday my diet changes from full liquids to purée! will have some refried Beans and sweet potatoes this weekend sometime :)

Day 14th of preop starting today. I have been feeling hungry the last 2 days at night, could be that I decreased my veggie portion without notice or my cycle messing with hormones. But no cheating allowed. Tomorrow I'm supposed to eat light and hydrate, so I will have scrambled eggs and keep the rest of the day with liquids only and after 8, clear liquids.

      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.
