Stevia is also in most grocery chains now in the health food section. The deal is that it isn't an FDA deal so it can't be approved as a sweetener, so sometimes it is in with sugars and sometimes with supplements. You can also buy stevia plants at many of the national seed houses and grow your own.

As far as I'm concenred, it's the only artificial sweetener I've used that doesn't raise my blood sugar and give me gas!

Be careful with artificial sweeteners. They raise blood sugar just like regular sugar does. You save the calories, but with the blood sugar bounces, the sugar cravings are profound. Better to shoot for getting the palate away from the taste of sweets of any kind.

My goal for her is to get away from all processed foods and stick to Proteins and lower carb veggies. She doesn't know it yet but we are going to exercise as well. :) I don't plan on stopping exercising because we are away for three days and I think she'll feel uncomfortable if she doesn't move a little too.

You know, I used to work for this woman and she is *such* an amazing woman. She is SO good at her job, she's a nurse. She runs a huge company and has turned it from a tiny company that nobody has ever heard of to a huge company that is well respected in this state. Even as big as the company is at this point (and growing daily) she still has an open door policy for staff, she'll drop everything she is doing if an employee wants to discuss anything from a professional issue to a personal issue. All employees are treated with respect and dignity by her and it's not for show, it's for real. The only thing I regret about leaving that company is that I didn't learn everything she knows before leaving.

If I needed something... ANYTHING for a patient but we would lose money on it she would always, 100% of the time tell me to go for it. Patient care always comes first with her. If I needed something, a drug... whatever, she made sure I had it for the patients. When she's at work she's this person with all the courage in the world. She knows her stuff and knows it well. She knows how to get things done. She is strong, capable, and able at work. At home... she's so shy and timid she's like a whole different person. She said she's always been that way. She feels confident at work but not in her personal life. If she could take just 10% of what she has within her personality at work and bring it home with her she could do this without a problem.

I find to stop sugar cravings have some protein.. good one is nuts such as almonds, not many try 3 or 4 chew really well, they are healthy even though calorie dense, this works for me and I'm a sugar junkie, also keeps one full longer too . Hope this helps, bless you all.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
