I'm on soft foods.. My doc said no raw fruit and veggies for a while tho!

It's four weeks of no raw food for me. <_<

Another week of only cooked food. There seems to be a lot of different opinions on this though. Every hospital seems to manage it a bit differently.

I notice a slight pain/discomfort in the epigastric area in the morning (on an empty stomach?). I'm not really sure if it was there from the beginning or if it developed during the last few days. Sounds crazy that I can't tell it but it's the way it is. I'm not sure if it was there from the beginning on. Otherwise I feel fine.

I'm obsessing over gastric bile reflux and type c gastritis since yesterday evening. :blink: But maybe it's still normal to have some type of discomfort in the epigastric area, who knows?

My first follow up appointment is on June 27th.

Still having some epigastric discomfort. I also don't have much of an appetite today. But then again I'm a bit anxious because I have to start working again. Hubby wrecked one of our cars yesterday (luckily he is alright!)... might be psychosomatic after all. If the discomfort gets worse I'm going to call the hospital.

Called the hospital today and they said to up the PPI to 80 mg per day and wait 3-4 days. I'm kind of relieved they didn't tell me "come in immediately".

In addition one of our surgeons palpated my stomach and did an ultrasound so we could rule out any really scary stuff for now.

I'm doing great. My head cravings have started, but I'm doing good nonetheless. I am having a little trouble drinking my Protein now, though. I've tried a few different brands and flavors. They all make me so nauseous. Not nauseous like, ohhh I'm tired of protein. I mean nauseous like I'm trying not to throw up because my stomach hurts. Is anyone else having this problem with protein?

@ Try lactose free Protein Shakes or make your own.

Thanks kristen, but I do use lactose free. Otherwiseithink I'd have a whole other problem. Lol

@ I had that once. It might be because of the fruit I mixed into it. I tried the same brand with only a few berries thrown in and was fine.

At the moment I have problems eating, no appetite at all. The only thing I ate with an appetite today were some skinny Protein bites this evening. I craved something salty. They're solid but puffy and practically melt in the mouth. So far they're sitting quite well down there in my stomach.

I don't feel like I need to eat, but I do know if I don't eat, I become irritable and miserable. So I force a little something something in when I feel like that. I'm currently on a stall....again..... either that or my scale is garbage. I need to unpack my weight watchers scale. That one is accurate like in the doctors office.

I weighed myself today after surgery. I plan on getting on the scales no more often than every two weeks or so. I might be going nuts otherwise.

Haha, I should make a reminder not to hop on the scales! I know it's tempting but this whole "stall thing" is driving my crazy anyway. BTW, I wouldn't consider not losing weight for one week or two a stall. I wonder if there is a definition of what a "stall" exactly is.

@ I'm feeling weak when not eating enough. I started working again today and felt like having some sort of brain fog the whole day.

Yes exactly! I feel like I'm not myself. I still haven't felt hunger pangs. That's the best part. I've been eating canned refried Beans, but today I decided to make my own with no salt. Just plain ol' garlic. They taste great with just a little cream cheese.

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      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.
